Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The
document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side-up. The
document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of the following Printing Preferences driver
tabs:
●
Paper/Quality
●
Effects
●
Finishing
●
Color
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview image.
When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes from an arrow
to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image.
Print Quality
The Print Quality group box contains the following controls:
●
EconoMode
●
HP Digital Imaging
EconoMode
Select the EconoMode check box to reduce the amount of ink on each printed page. It has been
available to legacy HP monochrome printers; with the HP Color LaserJet 3000 printer, it is now possible
for color printing as well.
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 EconoMode 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 ink. If
the EconoMode setting is used frequently, the mechanical parts can wear out before the supply
of ink is depleted, increasing the risk of ink spillage. Use genuine HP parts to avoid this problem.
