Optimize Printing Supplies
Manage Power
To conserve electricity, the printer comes with the following features.
You can also turn the features on or off from the printer software or Embedded web server (EWS).
To open the printer software, see Open the HP printer software (Windows) on page 37.
To open the EWS, see Embedded web server on page 118.
Sleep mode
Power usage is reduced while in Sleep mode. After initial setup, the printer goes into low-power mode
after 5 minutes of inactivity.
To change the time to Sleep mode:
1.
From the printer control panel display, touch
(ECO).
2.
Touch Sleep, and then touch the desired option.
NOTE: If you change your country or region from the printer control panel, the time to sleep mode is
automatcially set to the default, which is 5 minutes.
Schedule On and Off
Use this feature to automatically save energy during evenings and weekends. For example, you can
schedule the printer to turn on at 8 a.m. and turn off at 8 p.m. from Monday to Friday. In this way, you
will save energy during the night and weekends.
To configure the printer's Schedule On and Off feature:
1.
From the printer control panel display, touch
(ECO).
2.
Touch Schedule On and Off.
3.
Touch Schedule On and Schedule Off to set the time to turn the printer on and off.
CAUTION: Always turn off the printer properly, using either Sleep Mode, Schedule On and Off, or
(the Power button).
If you incorrectly turn the printer off, the print carriage might not return to the correct position, causing
problems with the ink cartridges and print quality issues.

●
Optimize paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper.
●
Save ink and paper when printing web content with HP Smart Print. For more information, visit
www.hp.com/go/smartprint.
●
Change the print mode 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.
