To reduce the amount of printing, please try some of these tips:
- Utilize other file storage options such as OneDrive or Google Drive to save documents instead of printing.
- Read materials from the computer screen instead of printing.
- When reviewing journal articles, have the PDF or text of the article emailed to you instead of printing.
- Use the comment and track changes features in Microsoft Word and other programs to provide feedback to others (instead of printing and marking up by hand).
- When printing materials:
- Use the print preview feature to preview what will print before you print.
- When printing website materials, make sure the last few sheets are not just advertisements or footer information.
- When printing anything, use two sided printing if possible.
