Saving money and the environment
We are committed to environmental sustainability and are continually improving our printers to reduce their impact
on 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” on
page 112.
Using recycled paper
As an environmentally conscious company, we support the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use
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 54.
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 two 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 onto 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.
Avoid paper jams
Correctly set the paper type and size to avoid paper jams. For more information, see “Avoiding jams” on page 144.
