Going Green and Saving Money

You can use 2-sided printing for copies, print jobs sent from your computer, and even incoming faxes. Because you'll only be using half the paper you would otherwise, you can cut your paper costs in half. The  key enables you to save even more paper by allowing you to simultaneously select the settings for 2-sided copying and for copying multiple pages onto one sheet.

To make 2-sided copies: 2-Sided Copying (MF8580Cdw Only)
To save paper when you copy: Using the [Paper Save Copy] Key
To print 2-sided documents from your computer: Switching 1-Sided and 2-Sided Printing (MF8580Cdw Only)
To print 2-Sided incoming faxes: Print on Both Sides

To really start saving paper, shrink multiple pages onto a single sheet - 2 or 4 pages for copies, and up to 16 pages for print jobs sent from your computer. If you are using a machine capable of 2-sided printing, the key enables you to save even more paper by allowing you to simultaneously select the settings for 2-sided copying and for copying multiple pages onto one sheet.

To copy multiple pages of a document onto one sheet: Copying Multiple Documents onto One Sheet (2 on 1/4 on 1)
To save paper when you copy: Using the [Paper Save Copy] Key
To print multiple pages of a document onto one sheet: Printing Multiple Pages onto One Sheet

For saving energy and money, a sleep mode that powers down a machine when nobody is using it has become an essential feature. This machine will enter sleep mode automatically, and can also be put to sleep whenever you want. Press once to put the machine to sleep. Press it again to instantly wake the machine back into action.

Got multi-page documents or drafts that don't need presentation-quality printing?

Fax documents directly from your computer. Why bother printing and then faxing? It just wastes paper and costs you money. You can save yourself this trouble and cut costs with paperless faxing.

For more information about this function, see Sending Faxes from Your Computer (PC Fax).

You can have incoming faxes held in memory and then check them yourself before they're printed. Just print what you need and delete the rest, saving paper and toner.
