Falk Library Goes Green

GreenHave you ever felt guilty about printing your lengthy PowerPoint presentation to proofread it? You won’t have to feel as culpable any longer. As of June 2008, Falk Library’s Computer and Media Center (CMC) is offering double-sided printing.

Print jobs will still be sent through the Pharos interface which has been the standard for years; however, the option for double-sided printing will now be available for any multi-page black/white document.

To print a document on the duplex printer:
– Select a printer
– Click on either the Properties or Preferences button
– A window will appear listing options for single or double sided printing. Choose Two-sided (Duplex) Printing and click Ok.

– After clicking Ok, you will return to the main print screen. Click Ok or Print to send your print job to the printer.

This printing option is made possible by a new HP black-and-white printer that is more efficient. It also benefits the environment by cutting paper usage in half.
