Saving money and the environment 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.
