But note "Assist with general office function such as printing and folding drawings" already appears in Responsibilities; duplication maybe okay but we should avoid repeating same detail? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is not prohibited but we should avoid unnecessary duplication. However it's okay if it's in both sections? Might be considered duplication but still preserving. Could move that duty to Responsibilities only and not repeat in Qualifications. But Qualifications is about technical responsibilities; we could keep it there and not duplicate in Responsibilities. However Responsibilities already includes that duty; we could keep it there and remove from Qualifications.
