Saving Money with the Printer

Printing on Both Sides of Paper (Duplexing)

Paper expense can be reduced by printing on both sides of paper when appropriate. See page 3-10 for tips and guidelines when duplexing a print job.

Printing Multiple Pages on a Sheet (N-up Printing)

Paper expense can also be reduced by printing more than one page on a single sheet of paper. This feature provides a cost-effective way to print draft pages.

To print more than one page on a sheet of paper, look for the Layout or Pages Per Sheet option in the printer driver. If you are unable to find this feature, check the printer driver help screens for availability. Some printer drivers may not have this option.
