Use this feature to automatically the printer on or off on selected days. 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.

●
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.
