Conserving Supplies
You can change several settings of your print driver to conserve toner and paper.
Supply
Setting
Function
Toner cartridge
Toner Saving Mode
in the
Graphics
tab of the print
driver
This check box allows the users to select a print mode that uses
less toner. When this feature is used, the image quality will be
lower than when it is not used.
Print media
Multiple Up
in the
Layout
tab of the print driver
The printer prints two or more pages on one side of a sheet.
The available numbers that each print driver can print on one
sheet of paper are as follows:
❏
Windows
®
Print Driver: 2, 4, 8, or 16 pages
❏
Mac OS X Print Driver: 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages
Combined with the Duplex (2-sided) print setting, Multiple Up
allows you to print up to 32 pages on one sheet of paper. (16
images on the front and 16 on the back)
Checking Page Counts
You can print the System Settings page to check the total number of printed pages. The total number of
printed pages is shown in the Print Volume section, classified by paper sizes.
Single side print (including Multiple Up print) is counted as one job, and 2-sided print (including
Multiple Up print) is counted as two. During duplex (2-sided) printing, if an error occurs after one
side is printed properly, it is counted as one.
During duplex (2-sided) printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the
settings of the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page. If a blank page is inserted
during duplex (2-sided) printing for odd-number pages and the rear of the last odd-number page is
left blank, however, this page is excluded from page counting.
Note:
Refer to “Printing the System Settings Page” on page 156 for details on how to print the System Settings
page.
