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
