Which of the following is not part of a Green Printer Strategy?

Question

Options

• ASet printers for double-sided printing.
• BUse recycled paper and cartridges.
• CSwitch printers off when not printing.
• DReplace standalone printers with networked printers.

• B
  3% (1)
• C
  95% (38)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Switching off printers when not in use is a general energy-saving habit, but it is not a defined component of a Green Printer Strategy - which specifically targets reducing paper waste, consumable waste, and device proliferation. Options A (double-sided printing) and B (recycled paper and cartridges) directly reduce physical resource consumption, making them core green printing practices. Option D (replacing standalone printers with shared networked printers) reduces the total number of devices in operation, lowering manufacturing waste and overall energy draw across an organization. While turning off equipment is environmentally sensible in general, it belongs to a broader power management policy rather than a printer-specific green strategy.

Memory tip: Think of a Green Printer Strategy as targeting the printer itself and its supplies - paper, cartridges, and the number of machines. If the action is about the behaviour of users around general power use (like switching things off), it falls outside the strategy's scope.
