Minimizing your printer's environmentalimpactSaving paper and tonerUsing recycled paper and other office papers• Low moisture content (4–5%)• Suitable smoothness (100–200 Sheffield units, or 140–350 Bendtsen units, European)Note: Some much smoother papers (such as premium 24 lb laser papers, 50–90 Sheffield units) and much rougherpapers (such as premium cotton papers, 200–300 Sheffield units) have been engineered to work very well inlaser printers, despite surface texture. Before using these types of paper, consult your paper supplier.• Suitable sheet-to-sheet coefficient of friction (0.4–0.6)• Sufficient bending resistance in the direction of feedRecycled paper, paper of lower weight (<60 g/m2 [16 lb bond]) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils [0.1 mm]), and paperthat is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending resistance than is required forreliable paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for laser (electrophotographic) printing, consult your papersupplier. Remember that these are general guidelines only and that paper meeting these guidelines may still causepaper feeding problems in any laser printer (for example, if the paper curls excessively under normal printingconditions).Conserving suppliesThere are a number of ways you can reduce the amount of paper and toner you use when printing, copying, orreceiving faxes. You can:Use both sides of the paperYou can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper for a printed document, a copy, or an incomingfax. For more information, see:• “Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 95• “Copying on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 107• “Printing an incoming fax on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 142Place multiple pages on one sheet of paperYou can print up to 16 consecutive pages of a multiple-page document onto one side of a single sheet of paper fromthe Print dialog.To copy two or four consecutive pages of a multiple-page document onto one side of a single sheet of paper, see“Copying multiple pages onto a single sheet” on page 110.Minimizing your printer's environmental impact69
