Power consumption is remarkably low: 495 watts during active printing, 5.5 watts in ready mode, and only 0.05 watts in Auto-off mode. The printer also helps reduce paper waste through its default paper savings mode and HP EcoSmart black toner technology, which uses less material per page while maintaining exceptional quality.
