WAYS TO ECONOMIZE WHEN PRINTING

In an effort to economize when printing, ITS is promoting the use of ink saving fonts, as well as the use of economy mode printer settings.  Both efforts will help the University move forward with its sustainable practices.  When composing an e-mail message or when creating a document using one of the Microsoft Office applications, it is easy to change your font selection to one of the ink-saving fonts, Century Gothic or Times New Roman, by using the font drop-down list found in each program. 

Aside from changing fonts, most printers offer an “economy” or “toner saver” mode.  By selecting this option (found in your printer property settings), you can reduce the amount of ink used for each print job. If needed, you can switch back to the higher print quality mode.
