Earth Smart Settings
Earth Smart Settings help you to reduce environmental pollution by using less toner or ink, and paper.
Notes:
- Some features are only supported by specific printers, operating systems, or driver types. You may see more features or options listed than what your printer supports.
- Changing Earth Smart Settings within a software application changes the settings only for the print job. Changing the Earth Smart Settings within the driver changes the default settings for all applications.
To reach a list of Earth Smart selections for print jobs, click the green Earth Smart Settings button at the bottom of the
print driver. Select the following:
- 2-Sided
Print: Prints images on both sides of the paper. Prints the images so the job can be bound on the long edge of the sheet.
- Turn off Banner
Pages by Default: Turns off the banner page setting. A banner page separates
each completed print job in the output bins. It includes the user name, date, time, and the document name. After you select this option, a dialog box
appears. To keep your print job separate from other print jobs, select to include a Job ID in the margins of
the print job.
- 2-Up:
Prints two images on each side of the paper. After you select this option, a
dialog box appears. Select Enable "Smart" 2-Up to correct the following:
- 1-page print jobs: Prints one full-sized page on the paper.
- 1-sided print jobs that are 2 pages or more: Prints two reduced-size pages on one side of the paper.
- 2-sided print jobs that are 2 pages: Prints a full-sized page 1 on one side of the paper, and prints a full-sized page 2 on the other side of the paper.
- 2-sided print jobs that are 2 pages or more: Prints two reduced-size pages on each side of the paper.
- Sample Set: Prints one copy of a print job without holding additional copies at the printer. After you select this option, a dialog box
appears. Select Enable "Smart" Sample Set to keep an unnecessary sample from printing, including one-copy print jobs.
- Draft Mode: Saves toner or ink by printing
in draft mode, producing lower-quality images.
- Hide Earth Smart Button: Deactivates the green Earth Smart Settings button.
