While\u00a0printing is still a critical part in most businesses, the\u00a0average office worker forgets to pick up 600 printed sheets of paper a year from the printer.<\/p>\n

There are many easy ways to reduce paper consumption & encourage green printing practices in\u00a0your office.<\/p>\n

Here are just a few examples:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Print on both sides of the paper: <\/strong>Set non-production level equipment defaults to duplex (double-sided) printing and encourage employees to adjust their application print settings (default on all jobs or per-print) when feasible<\/li>\n
  2. Print in black and white: <\/strong>Set non-production level equipment defaults to monochromatic\/black-and-white printing and encourage employees to adjust their application print settings (default on all jobs or per-print) when feasible<\/li>\n
  3. Print at draft quality: <\/strong>Set non-production level equipment defaults to draft quality (rather than high quality) printing and\/or encourage employees to adjust their application print settings (default on all jobs or per-print) when feasible<\/li>\n
  4. Improve your use of sleep mode: <\/strong>Change device settings that impact the timing of sleep mode initiation during workday hours, and power-down at the end of the working day and on weekends<\/li>\n
  5. Use more toner-efficient fonts: <\/strong>Set default font in main word processing software (e.g. Microsoft Office) on individual computers to one of the approved toner-efficient fonts (Times New Roman, Calibri, Century Gothic) at 11-point size<\/li>\n
  6. Remove personal desktop printers: <\/strong>Remove personal desktop printers and decrease the employee-to-device ratio of workgroup printers to 14:1<\/li>\n
  7. Attach Green Printing Practices Posters<\/strong> next to your copiers & printers to build awareness between your employees. Download as PDF here:\u00a0Green Printing Practices<\/a>\u00a0(Size: 237 KB)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
