Does anyone know how much toner can be saved by using "toner saving" under
the "print quality" tab when printing? I am pushing for this to be the
default for my company but cannot find information on how much it might
extend the life of a toner cartridge.

You need to ask the printer manufacturer as it's not related to Microsoft
Word documents.

At a wild guess, about minus 25 per cent :-)

If you make that the default, your user's documents will come out grey
instead of black.

So they will all print everything a second time after changing the setting,
using up one and a quarter times as much toner and twice as much paper :-)

Sorry :-)

Hi John,

That sounds like the issue of "water conserving" toilets. :-) Lots of
cities in the US have passed plumbing codes requiring toilets that flush
with 1.6 gallons (about 6 litres) or less, compared to older toilets that
typically used about 3 gallons. But many of these new models can't flush all
the solids at once, so they have to be flushed twice, with a net use of
about 10% _more_ water than the old toilets.

Comparing the average Word document to the average contents of a loo might
be fair, too. g,d&r

They're mandatory across Australia too (we're a dry continent...)

But here, we specify "Dual Flush" which means I have to wake up in the
middle of the night because I can't work out which button to press.

Usually easier to just stay asleep and press the big one... :-)
