Eco-Friendly Printing: Reduce Waste and Save Resources
Print Less, Print Smarter
The most effective way to reduce your printing environmental impact is to print less. Preview documents before printing, use digital alternatives when possible, and combine multiple pages onto single sheets using your printer's N-up printing feature.
Use Duplex Printing
Printing on both sides of the paper can cut your paper consumption in half. Enable automatic duplex printing as your default setting to make this effortless.
Choose Recycled Paper
Recycled paper uses less energy and water to produce than virgin paper. Look for paper with high post-consumer recycled content for everyday printing.
Recycle Cartridges
Used ink and toner cartridges should never go into regular waste. Take advantage of manufacturer recycling programmes or drop them off at participating retail locations.
Energy-Efficient Settings
Enable your printer's power-saving and sleep mode features to reduce electricity consumption when the printer is idle. Consider scheduling the printer to turn off outside business hours.
Draft Mode for Internal Documents
Use draft quality settings for internal documents and proofs. Draft mode uses significantly less ink or toner while still producing readable output.
