    I never liked to use two-sided printing, but with setting the goal to save paper, I felt more empowered every time I printed.  The good that it was doing overshadowed my old thinking that one-sided printing was easier to read documents.  Thank You!!!

    I had to stop and think to choose 2-sided copying.  Hopefully, it will soon come to me automatically.
