Change the print quality in the printer driver to a draft setting. The draft setting uses less ink.

Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. Doing so wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

HP Digital Filing

HP Digital Filing provides robust, general-office scanning—as well as basic, versatile, documentmanagement capabilities—for multiple users over a network. With HP Digital Filing, you can simply walk up to the printer, select the options on the printer control panel, and either scan documents directly to computer folders on your network or quickly share them with business partners as email attachments—and all without using additional scanning software.

Scanned documents can be sent to a shared network folder for personal or group access or to one or more email addresses for quick sharing. In addition, you can configure specific scan settings for each scan destination, allowing you to make sure that the best settings are being used for each specific task.

HP Digital Fax

With HP Digital Fax, you can save incoming, black-and-white faxes to a computer folder on your network for easy sharing and storage, or you can forward faxes through email—allowing you to receive important faxes from anywhere while working away from the office.

In addition, you can turn off fax printing altogether — saving money on paper and ink, as well as helping to reduce paper consumption and waste.

Requirements

Before you set up the HP Digital Solutions, make sure you have the following:

All papers with the ColorLok logo are independently tested to meet high standards of reliability and print quality, and produce documents with crisp, vivid color, bolder blacks, and that dry faster than ordinary plain papers. Look for papers with the ColorLok logo in a variety of weights and sizes from major paper manufacturers.
