Reducing Print Costs
- Print only the pages you need in a document
- If you must print PowerPoint slides, print them 6 to a page, black and white, with no background
- Print only what you need - don't print drafts of every revision
- Use the "Print Preview" from the File menu to check your document before printing
- Edit and proof papers online
- Always check with the computer lab consultant before resending a print job. The printer may have other documents in front of your print job, or the printer may be out of paper
- Avoid printing email messages and web pages
- Send documents electronically instead of printing out hard copies
- Use the spell check feature to find spelling and grammatical errors
- Print only one copy
- Turn off graphics in web browsers in order to minimize the number of pages in web output
- Use the duplex function to include more than one page per printed document
- When printing class assignments or papers, print more than one page per sheet via Zoom option
- Use the duplex (2-sided) printing feature where its available
- Check margins, printer and page settings prior to printing
- Use the "print-friendly" option when printing web pages
- Always protect your password to keep others from using your account and never give your password to anyone else
