The HP Explorer program that comes with Hewlett Packard LaserJet 4L printers
is a very useful program for changing settings on the printer. However, due
to its querying of the printer it tends to be rather slow. I find that I
often want to quickly turn the Economode setting on or off without having to
wait for HP Explorer to query the printer. This is the purpose of
ECONMODE.EXE. It merely sends the "Economode on" or "Economode off" command
directly to the printer, without querying the printer first.
ECONMODE is used as follows:
To turn Economode on, type "ECONMODE ON".
To turn Economode off, type "ECONMODE OFF".
This assumes that you have your LaserJet 4L attached to printer port LPT1. If
this is not the case, specify the correct port at the end of the command line.
For example, if your LaserJet 4L is attached to printer port LPT2 and you want
to turn Economode on, type "ECONMODE ON LPT2".
ECONMODE.EXE is hereby released to the public domain.
