Description:
Unfortunately, the UN on average uses more paper now than ever before. This initiative’s aim is not to eliminate paper per se but to reduce consumption through the use of increasing double-sided printing.
The organization has an opportunity to substantially reduce the amount of paper it uses in day to day activities by setting centrally managed printers to print using the duplex printing option.
The technology used to enable this project is an evolution of currently deployed processes. OICT has fifteen print servers deployed that host approximately 740 network print servers. These printers are easily configured to allow duplex printing by default for printers with duplex capabilities.
This initiative will be implemented next week across all networked computers in UN Headquarters in New York. Desktop printers are not networked so must be configured individually.
