Sorry, I'm gonna own up to it...after all, I am 'That Guy!'
The 787 has a neat little area between the throttle quadrant and CCPs to slide folded ACARS print offs. The 'Bus has tray tables so you can build an ACARS house of cards if you do the origami right. I'm sure there is plenty of space in the 76 and Triple. The 73...we're at a premium for space.
I bring a small clipboard that fits over the area that is not being used to show the cockpit door indication or deny switches, depending on which door is installed on that particular jet. The ACARS messages I print off are folded and placed on it. It keeps the center pedestal from becoming an explosion of paper that can obscure a warning or caution or door light, since with our 1962 version of EICAS, it can be easy to miss a light that is on and shouldn't be.
Don't worry, I am not saving the print outs every leg to wallpaper the house...just like to bring a little bit more order to pacify my CDO.
