Every printer should duplex! (two sided printing)

440 points posted to Environment, Printers and Ink by one4spl 07/02/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**

As an environmentally aware company that makes long shelf-life products (not food or toys) you should be aware that the biggest environmental impact your products have are the results of their use, not their manufacture.

Towards this end all your printers should duplex as standard, and if taken to the extreme the drivers should be set to duplex by default.



They should also go into a very low power state shortly after going idle.

Cheers,

Luke

Thanks for the great idea, not only should Dell use this idea but any company that produces printers should!

Low Power State - Energy Star compliance gives you this & you'd be mad releasing a printer without supporting it.
