Sustainable Tip of the Week

Double Sided Printing

Did you know that the average American uses 700 pounds of paper per year and 115 billion sheets of paper are used annually for personal computers?

Do your part to reduce paper consumption! Only print if you absolutely have to! When you do, make sure to use both sides of the paper.

Sometimes students are worried that professors won’t accept papers that are printed double sided. Most professors are in fact okay with double sided printing, but if you are unsure, just ask!

Just follow the instructions below to start living a more sustainable lifestyle!

1. Start Menu > "Settings"
2. Choose Printers & Faxes
3. Right click on main printer


4. Choose Printing Preferences
5. Choose Finishing tab
6. Check "Print On Both Sides"


7. Click "Apply" to set as default


Notes:
*Can uncheck settings for individual jobs if necessary:
Go to Print > Properties > Finishing
