Technical specifications
Toner darkness
Toner darkness settings offer four user-selectable settings to
balance print darkness and toner savings. The higher the setting,
the darker the print. The toner darkness default setting is 4.
The toner darkness setting is available through the operator panel
under the Print Quality menu.
Color correction settings
There are four color correction settings to provide flexibility in
choosing the type of color correction to be applied when printing a
file.
• Auto (default)—provides ease of use with no color science
knowledge required
• Vivid—adjusts CMYK components, with the result being colors
that are more saturated
• Off—no color correction is implemented from RGB or CMYK
applications
• CMYK—provides the application's color correction instead of
the printer's algorithms
Black and White Lock—(in configuration menu) allows printer and
network administrators to lock the printer in a mode that will only
print black. This feature cannot be overridden with any other menu
or driver selection.

When printing from the multipurpose feeder: Simplex—the first three pages print a
“legal” speed with the balance printing at the speed consistent with the actual media
size. Duplex—all pages print at “legal” speed.

Average duple x print performance measured under the following conditions: Simplex
text document from the printer’s integrated tray to the printer’s standard output bin,
with a job stream sufficiently long for the printer system to enter the maximum
duplex print performance page sequence (2,4,6,1,3,5...) The first two sides (2 and 4)
are not included in the performance computation since they “seed” the printer
system’s paper path to achieve the maximum duplex print performance.
Performance
The Lexmark C91x printers support the speeds listed above.
Performance depends on:
• Interface to the host (USB, serial, parallel, network)
Optional 64MB, 128MB and 256MB SDRAM DIMMs are available
from Lexmark.
Flash memory options
Optional 4MB, 8MM and 16MB DIMMs are available from Lexmark.
Memory and expansion slots
• Memory slots for extra flash or DRAM
– Two for Lexmark C910(n) and Lexmark C912(n)
– One for Lexmark C910(dn) and Lexmark C912(dn)
• One expansion slot for optional interface cards
• One optional firmware expansion slots (application solution
firmware card)
• One on-board hard disk interface (for optional hard disk)
SDRAM and flash memory options are interchangeable within any of
the memory slots available on the system board. However, only one
flash memory Maintenance Approach option will be recognized. If
multiple flash memory options are installed, the system will
recognize the largest one.
