PAPER REDUCTION
Lowering the amount of paper your organization
uses for everyday office printing saves money while
reducing waste and environmental impact. HP Web
Jetadmin allows you to identify areas of potential
paper saving and easily manage paper-saving
settings across networked printers.
Duplex printing
One of the primary ways to reduce paper use is by
printing on both sides of a sheet of paper, called
duplex printing. Tracking paper consumption and
rates of duplex printing over time can enable a
department or the entire organization to demonstrate
progress toward paper conservation objectives.
You can use HP Web Jetadmin to establish duplex
printing as the default mode on all networked HP
LaserJet printers (see Figure 5).
To set duplex printing on enabled devices:
• SelecttheConfigtab.
• ViewlistingsbyDevicecategory.
• SetDuplexBinding,specifyingeitherLongEdge
or Short Edge binding (see Figure 6).
It is important to note that a print driver will override
this setting for special print jobs, but by making
duplex the rule, you can see a measurable reduction
in paper usage.
Duplex settings are most common in printing
environments using pre-configured drivers that allow
duplex to be set or locked as the default. If duplex is
not locked, users can still override this setting at print
time. This paper shows how HP Web Jetadmin can be
used as another option to set duplexing remotely to
help reinforce duplex printing at an enterprise level.
