There are many ways to reduce paper consumption in an organization. Two of the most common are duplex printing, and multi-up printing. These methods can be effective but are not optimal. Printers jams are more common in duplex printers which may require the use of heavier paper stock.Duplexing takes more time than printing two single sheets of paper because of the longer paper path and complicated mechanics of duplex devices.The user must specifically ask for duplexing service via the printer driver which an often cumbersome task.It requires special hardware that is not available for all printers.Printing on both sides of the paper (called duplexing) using special duplexing hardware can reduce the amount of paper used and it is fully supported by FinePrint. Some printers have printer drivers that can print multiple pages on a sheet. Multi-up functions are hidden within the printer driver and are inconvenient to access.Each printer brand and model has a different method and user interface for the multi-up function.Surprisingly, these drivers are underutilized because: Multi-up printing as it is called, is an excellent way to save paper as it reduces paper and toner use, speeds up the printing process and causes less wear and tear on printers. The user must remember to reset the multi-up setting when single page printing is desired.No preview feature is available to determine if the material will be readable in different multi-up formats.
