Minimizing your printer's environmental impact

We are committed to protecting the environment and are continually improving our printers to reduce their
environmental impact. By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's
environmental impact even further.
Conserving energy
•
Select the lowest Sleep timeout. The Sleep feature puts the printer in a minimum‑power standby mode after the
printer has been idle for a set amount of time (the Sleep timeout).
•
Share your printer. Wireless/network printers allow you to share a single printer among multiple computers, thus
conserving energy and other resources.
Conserving paper
•
Print more than one page image on one side of the paper. The Pages per Sheet feature allows you to print multiple
pages on one sheet. You can print up to 8 page images on one side of a sheet of paper.
•
Print on both sides of the paper. Duplexing lets you print on both sides of the paper manually or automatically
(depending on your printer model).
•
Preview print jobs before printing. Use the preview features found in Toolbars, the Print or Print Preview dialog,
or the printer display (depending on your printer model).
•
Use recycled paper.
•
Reduce the margins of documents to be printed.
•
Scan and save. To avoid printing multiple copies, you can scan documents or photos and save them to a computer
program, application, or flash drive for presentation (depending on your printer model).
Conserving ink
•
Use Quick Print or Draft Mode. These modes can be used to print documents using less ink than normal and are
recommended for printing documents that are mostly text.
•
Use font types and font settings that require less ink. Most programs or applications let you adjust the darkness
of the colors.
