Saving money and the environment

Saving paper and toner

Studies show that as much as 80% of the carbon footprint of a printe r is related to paper usage. You can significantly
reduce your carbon footprint by using recycled paper and the following printin g suggestions, such as printing on both
sides of the paper and printing multiple pages on one side of a single sheet of paper.
For more information on how you can quickly save paper and energy using one printer setting, see “Using Eco‑Mode”
on page 128.

Using recycled paper

in laser printers. For more information on recycled papers that work well with your printer, see “Using recycled paper
and other office papers” on page 66.

Conserving supplies

Use both sides of the paper
If your printer model supports duplex printing, then you can control whether print appears on one or t wo sides of the
paper by selecting 2‑sided printing from the Print dialog.
Place multiple pages on one sheet of paper
You can print up to 16 consecutive pages of a multiple‑page document ont o one side of a single sheet of paper by
selecting a setting from the Multipage printing (N‑Up) section of the Print dialog screen.
Check your first draft for accuracy
Before printing or making multiple copies of a document:
•Use the preview feature, which you can select from the Print dialog to see how the document will look like before
you print it.
•Print one copy of the document to check its content and format for accuracy.
