Q. What is the use of Economode? How it turns out to be useful?
A. EconoMode is a feature that enables the item to utilize less toner per page. Selecting this option extends the life of the toner supply and might reduce the cost per page. However, it also reduces the print quality. The printed page is adequate for printing drafts. HP does not recommend the full-time utilization of EconoMode. If it is used for full-time, the toner supply might outlast the mechanical parts of the print cartridge. If print quality begins to degrade under these circumstances, you will need to install a new HP Laserjet P3015 toner cartridges, even if there is toner supply remaining in the cartridge.

Replace the fusing assembly referring the user manual.

Select Apply to apply these changes to your machine.
