  1. Wait to ensure that your print jobs have been received, and only select print jobs, which you require.
  2. Duplex printing (both sides) conserves paper. To select this option, view properties and preferences and select the printing on both sides.
  3. Use Google Docs for collaborative team projects.
  4. Print PowerPoint class notes in handout view.
