Abstract
A printer capable of operation in an economy mode as well as in a normal mode. The printer includes a print mechanism for printing in accordance with print data. The printer also includes a print controller which controls the print mechanism. The printer is provided with a mode of operation selector for selecting between a normal mode of operation in which the print quality is relatively emphasized and an economy mode of operation in which operating costs are relatively emphasized. The print controller controls the print density at a first level when the normal mode of operation has been selected and at a second reduced level when the economy mode of operation has been selected.
