CUTTING PAPER - ACTIONS - Image Avoidance |
Image Avoidance
The savings are largest for those images that can be avoided entirely.
Simple examples of this are fax cover sheets, confirmation sheets, and
printer cover pages. Individual fax confirmation sheets can be replaced
by a fax summary that records many transactions on one sheet. For printing,
document identifiers (date/time, file name, or owner) can be included on
the document rather than on a separate cover sheet. Similarly, for
fax machines, small "Post-it" notes can have the sender and recipient information.
Avoid thermal fax machines
as the resulting output is often copied onto regular paper and so increases
paper use and imaging.
Some devices can be set to print a test page every time they are turned on,
and some arrive with this "feature" enabled. While this feature can be useful when
a printer is first installed (to see what its characteristics are), it is
usually best to disable it afterwards. There is always another way to
get such a test page if and when it is needed.
