8—Saving the environment
Saving paper and toner
Studies show that as much as 80% of the carbon footprint of a printer is related to paper usage. You can
significantly reduce your carbon footprint by using recycled paper and the following printing suggestions,
such as printing on both sides of the paper and printing multiple pages on one side of a single sheet of
paper.
For information on how you can quickly save paper and energy using one printer setting, see
Using Eco-
Mode.
Using recycled paper
As an environmentally conscious company, KONICA MINOLTA supports the use of recycled office paper
produced specifically for use in laser printers.
Conserving supplies
Use both sides of the paper
If your printer model supports two-sided printing, then you can control whether print appears on one or
two sides of the paper.
Note: Two-sided printing is the default setting in the printer driver.
Place multiple pages on one sheet of paper
You can print up to 16 consecutive pages of a multiple-page document onto one side of a single sheet of
paper by setting multiple page printing (N-Up) for the print job.
Avoid paper jams
Correctly set the paper type and size to avoid paper jams. For more information, see Avoiding jams.
