orders. Consider the features you most often select. For example, my
printing options show that I have selected duplex, letter size paper with a
staple in the upper left hand corner (portrait). Selecting these options
speeds up the ordering process since most of our incoming orders contain
this feature set.
SMC Reprographics supports eco-sustainable practices; therefore our policy is a two-sided
