    From what I remember it prints at a lower DPI, therefore saving ink.

    It's dependant on what OS you are using for the setup. Think on mine I do it in printer preferences, but not 100%

    I assume you want to know what it does. It does reduce ink usage. Once set you dont need to do it again. To set go to control panel > Printers > right click over printer > settings > quality. Be aware it may be called something else, but it should be along those lines.

    Also this should be in the hardware forum. :)

    sorry for reposting, but I want to make aware people from fact...
    I have used my printer in draft mode for a week. it saves ink effectively. but it is only for testing. You can only use while you print less importance paper.
    Thanks.
