7—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.

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

There are a number of ways you can reduce the amount of paper and toner you use when printing. You
can:
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.
Avoid paper jams
Correctly set the paper type and size to avoid paper jams. For more information, see
