Ink Economy
Use the following recommendations for making economical use of ink.
•
Draft prints
: Use plain paper and move the print-quality slider to the left end
of the scale ('Speed'). For further economy, select custom print quality options,
then select
Fast
and
Economode
.
•
Clean Printhead only when Needed
: Cleaning the printhead can be useful,
but it uses a small amount of ink.
•
Leave Printer Power ON
: When the printer is permanently turned on, it can
maintain the printhead in good condition automatically. This regular printhead
maintenance uses a small amount of ink. However, if it is not done, the printer
may need to use much more ink later to restore the health of the printhead.
•
Print using Wide Prints
: Wide prints make more efficient use of ink than
narrow prints, because printhead maintenance uses some ink, and its
frequency is related to the number of passes made by the printhead.
