Before printing ask yourself: Do I really need to print this?
Add a short message to the end of your emails that reminds recipients not to print the email
unless absolutely necessary.
Make double-sided (duplex) and black/white (greyscale) the printing default on office computers
and printers.
Select one-sided printing only when really needed.
Use the revision features in word processing software to edit documents on screen instead of
printing drafts and making hand-written comments.
Select Print to PDF under printer options, instead of printing a document to paper and then
scanning to PDF
Use overhead projectors, white boards and presentation software instead of paper
handouts/presentations. *If must be printed, use b/w (greyscale) rather than color.
All color printing to be done on KM MFPs.
Instead of printing a Web page, bookmark it or save the page to favorites on your hard drive and
pull it up when needed.
Preview documents before printing. Use the print preview to spot formatting errors and blank
pages before you print.
Utilize Secure Print feature on Konica Minolta MFP
