Saving money and the environment 160 Saving money and 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. For information on how you can quickly save paper and energy using one printer setting, see "Using Eco‑mode" on page 57 for M1145 or "Using Eco‑Mode" on page 96 for M3150. Using recycled paper As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use in laser printers. For more information on recycled papers that work well with your printer, see "Using recycled paper and other office papers" on page 108. Conserving supplies Use both sides of the paper If your printer model supports two‑sided printing, then you can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper. Notes: • Two-sided printing is the default setting in the print driver. • For a complete list of supported products and countries, go to http://support.lexmark.com. 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 setting multiple page printing (N‑Up) for the print job. Check your first draft for accuracy Before printing or making multiple copies of a document: • Use the preview feature to see how the document looks like before you print it. • Print one copy of the document to check its content and format for accuracy. Avoid paper jams Correctly set the paper type and size to avoid paper jams. For more information, see "Avoiding jams" on page 170.
