The practical use of household and computer equipment implies a competent use of resources. Reducing the consumption of some of them will not only save money spent, but also increase the service life. For example, consider conserving resource consumption of printer cartridges.
It is necessary
- - operating system of the Windows family;
- - printer with installed drivers;
- - text editor.
Instructions
Step 1
The most common way to reduce the consumption of cartridge resources is to activate the "Economy consumption" option. Most printer models today already come with this setup on board. To check the functionality of this option, you must open the document through any text editor (Notepad, Notepad, MS Word).
Step 2
In the program window, click the top menu "File" and select "Print". You will see the print settings window. Click the Properties button to navigate to the Device Driver Software Control. Find the tab that has settings for displaying graphics when printing, and check the box next to "Printer Save Mode". If you see advanced settings here, it is recommended that you change the density from Normal to Light.
Step 3
To save money, some users simply change colors when printing. For example, when printing hard-to-see lines on a monochrome cartridge, text in bright colors (red, light green, etc.) is used. This method is not a panacea for color printing.
Step 4
Pay attention to the quality of the used cartridge filler, whether it be inkjet or laser. Re-filling with low-quality consumables leads to a decrease in the shelf life, which in itself is the cause of a large consumption of materials.
Step 5
Also, do not forget that some of the dyes remain inside the printer body. For example, a print head that tends to accumulate ink or toner prints more faded over time. The reason lies in the buildup of unused ink and, as a result, incomplete contact with the paper. Outwardly, it may appear that the printer is outputting faint textures on the paper.
