Ways to Reduce Printing Costs

Print only the pages you need in a document If you must print PowerPoint slides, print them 6 to a page, black & white, with no background Print only what you need - don't print drafts for 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. Your print allotment will be quickly be depleted if you send multiple copies. Avoid printing email messages & web pages Send documents electronically instead of printing out hard copies Use the spell check feature to find spelling & 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 it's available Check margins, printer, and page settings prior to printing Always protect your password to keep others from using your account and never give your password to anyone else Use the "print-friendly" option when printing web pages
