Macintosh Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and reduces cost per page. However, it also reduces print quality. The printed image is lighter, but it is adequate for printing drafts or proofs. HP does not recommend the full-time use of Economode. If Economode is used full-time when the average toner coverage is significantly less than 5%, it is possible that the toner supply will outlast the mechanical parts in the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you must install a new print cartridge, even if toner remains in the cartridge. NOTE The Turn Economode On setting might work only if a genuine HP print cartridge is installed. HP print cartridges can measure the life of the mechanical parts as well as the quantity of toner. If the Turn Economode On setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply of toner is depleted, increasing the risk of toner leaking. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this problem. Change the settings in the Toner Density drop-down menu to save on toner use. The following settings are available: ●1 ●2 ●3 ●4 ●5 Lower settings result in slightly reduced printing quality, but save on toner usage. Resolution Under Printer Settings, choose Resolution to open the Default Resolution screen, as shown in the following figure. Figure 6-47 Default Resolution screen 244 Chapter 6 Macintosh ENWW
