About your printer

Thank you for choosing this printer!

We've worked hard to make sure it will meet your needs.

To start using your new printer right away, use the setup materials that came with the printer, and then skim the User’s Guide to learn how to perform basic tasks. To get the most out of your printer, read the User’s Guide carefully, and make sure you check the latest updates on our Web site.

We're committed to delivering performance and value with our printers, and we want to make sure you're satisfied. If you do encounter any problems along the way, one of our knowledgeable support representatives will be delighted to help you get back on track fast. And if you find something we could do better, please let us know. After all, you are the reason we do what we do, and your suggestions help us do it better.

Minimizing your printer's environmental impact

We are committed to protecting the environment and are continually improving our printers to reduce their environmental impact. By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's environmental impact even further.

Conserving energy

Select the lowest Sleep timeout. The Sleep feature puts the printer in a minimum‑power standby mode after the

•

printer has been idle for a set amount of time (the Sleep timeout). Reduce the screen brightness. Dim the printer display to lower the power consumption of your printer.

•

Share your printer. Wireless/network printers allow you to share a single printer among multiple computers, thus

•

conserving energy and other resources.

Conserving paper

Print more than one page image on one side of the paper. The Pages per Sheet feature allows you to print multiple

•

pages on one sheet. You can print up to 16 page images on one side of a sheet of paper. Print on both sides of the paper. Two‑sided printing (duplexing) lets you print on both sides of the paper manually

•

or automatically (depending on your printer model).

• Preview print jobs before printing. Use the preview features found in Toolbars, the Print or Print Preview dialog,

or the printer display (depending on your printer model).

• Use recycled paper.

• Reduce the margins of documents to be printed.

• Scan and save. To avoid printing multiple copies, you can scan documents or photos and save them to a computer

program, application, or flash drive for presentation (depending on your printer model).

About your printer 8

Conserving ink

•

Use Quick Print or Draft Mode. These modes can be used to print documents using less ink than normal and are recommended for printing documents that are mostly text.

• Use font types and font settings that require less ink. Most programs or applications let you adjust the darkness

of the colors. Use high‑yield cartridges. Inks in high‑yield cartridges allow you to print more pages.

•

Preview print jobs before printing. Use the preview features found in Toolbars, the Print Preview dialog, or the

•

printer display (depending on your printer model).

Recycling

Return ink cartridges for reuse or recycling through the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program. To return an ink

•

cartridge, go to www.lexmark.com/recycle. Follow the instructions to request a postage‑paid bag.

Recycle the product packaging.

•

Recycle your old printer instead of throwing it away.

•

Recycle paper from discarded print jobs.

•

Use recycled paper.
