HP LaserJet 2300 printer - External Software Technical Reference

EconoMode
Use the EconoMode check box to turn this toner-saving feature on and off independently of the other Print Quality
tab settings. When this check box is selected, the preview image lightens to show the expected appearance of the
printed page when this feature is applied. The option is off by default.
The EconoMode option can be activated from the printer control panel, from the Print Quality tab in the application's
properties, or from the Print Quality tab in the driver. If the EconoMode option is selected from the control panel, and
if the printer has a genuine HP cartridge, the ON setting overrides any setting made in the application or driver, as
shown in the following table.
If an HP cartridge is not used, the EconoMode option is not available, regardless of the driver or control-panel setting.
