Do not place or use this product near water or wet locations.

Use only the power supply and power cord provided with this product or the manufacturer's authorized replacements.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce the risk of fire, use only 26 AWG or larger (e.g., 24 AWG) UL Listed or CSA Certified Telecommunication Line Cord.

CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Make sure that all external connections (such as Ethernet and telephone system connections) are properly installed in their marked plug-in ports.

CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: Do not cut, twist, bind, crush, or place heavy objects on the power cord. Do not subject the power cord to abrasion or stress. Do not pinch the power cord between objects such as furniture and walls. If any of these things happen, a risk of fire or electrical shock results. Inspect the power cord regularly for signs of such problems. Remove the power cord from the electrical outlet before inspecting it.

Refer service or repairs, other than those described in the user documentation, to a professional service person.

About your printer 7

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.

To read the Lexmark Environmental Sustainability Report, see www.lexmark.com/environment.

Note: Your printer may not come with some of these programs or some of the functions of these programs,

depending on the features of the printer that you purchased.

Using shortcuts 19

Using shortcuts

What are shortcuts?

A shortcut is a way to quickly accomplish printing, copying, scanning, e‑mailing, or faxing tasks with the printer. You can configure and save a set of frequently used printer settings available for a given task and then assign a shortcut name and shortcut number to it. When you want to perform a task with those settings, you can simply select the shortcut number on the printer instead of going through the usual process of adjusting the settings and options.

Configure the shortcut settings for a task in the printer Web page:

Choose To

Copy Copy a document or photo.

Eco‑Copy Copy a document or photo using two‑sided or draft setting.

ID Card Copy Copy both sides of an ID card onto a single page.

Scan to Fax Scan a document or photo and send it through fax.

Scan to E‑mail Scan a document or photo and send it through e‑mail.

Note: Make sure the printer is connected to the network and the Internet through an Ethernet or wireless connection.

Scan to Computer Scan a document or photo and send it to your computer.

Notes:

• Make sure the printer driver is installed with a network printer connection.

• Make sure the printer is connected to the computer, either locally (USB) or

through the same Ethernet or wireless network.

Scan to Network Scan a document or photo and save it to a network folder.

Note: Make sure the printer is connected to the Internet through an Ethernet or wireless connection.

Scan to Memory Device Scan a document or photo and save it to a memory card or flash drive (depending

on your printer model).

Print a File Print a document from your computer.

Note: Make sure the printer is connected to the computer through the same Ethernet or wireless network.

Example:

A lawyer who uses his printer to send e‑mails to clients normally navigates through the printer control panel to select the feature and its available options. Instead of doing that, he can configure the printer settings (such as the message title and recipient) from the printer Web page, and then assign a shortcut number to the task. When he enters the shortcut number on the printer control panel, the printer automatically sends the documents according to the selected settings. If he wants to send another copy of the message, he simply enters the shortcut number again.
