Is it possible to extend the life of HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451nw toner cartridges?

If the print quality begins to degrade, consider replacing the toner cartridge. To enable this feature follow the steps below:

• Open the printer driver on your computer and go to the “File” menu.
• Click on the “Print” tab. Select the “Properties” or “Preferences” button.
• Select “Paper/Quality” tab.
• Tick the checkbox next to the “Economode” option to increase the life of your HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color M451nw toner cartridges.
