Finding information about the printer

The Quick Reference Guide contains instructions on adding your printer to a wireless network, setting up a fax connection, and accomplishing common printer tasks like printing, copying, scanning, and faxing. It also includes information on troubleshooting printer setup issues as well as solving basic networking and faxing problems.

Note: Some functions are available only in select printer models.

For additional information, see the following:

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

• Activate Eco-Mode. This feature sets the screen brightness to low and sets the printer to change to

Sleep mode after the printer is left idle for 10 minutes.

• 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).

• 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. 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 photographs and save

them to a computer program, application, or flash drive for presentation.

Conserving ink

• Use Quick Print or Draft Mode. These modes can be used to print documents using less ink than

normal and are ideal 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. These cartridges let you print more pages.

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, and then 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.

About your printer 6

To read the Lexmark Environmental Sustainability Report, visit 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.

Printer models

The installation software CD that came with your printer works for the following printer models:

• Lexmark Pro912

• Lexmark Pro915

• Lexmark Pro919

Printer features

Depending on the model, your printer comes with features that will help you manage and accomplish printing and imaging tasks:

• Wireless or Ethernet networking—Print and scan from anywhere in your home or office over a secure

wireless or Ethernet network, as well as share the printer among multiple computers.

• Intuitive to uch screen—Use the full‑featured color touch screen for f ast, easy access to all the printer

menus. The large screen also allows you to view and print photos directly from your digital camera or memory device without using a computer.

• Print—Print docum ents and PDFs quickly from a computer or from a USB flash drive. Built‑in two‑sided

printing lets you save money and the environment.

• Copy—Co py documents and photos with one‑touch, computer‑free black or color copying. Enjoy 25%

to 400% reduction and enlargement capacity.

• Scan—Scan documents and photos fast and easily with the high‑resolution scanner. Easily scan to a

memory device or t o multiple laptops or comput ers over a secure wireless ne twork with up to 1200 dpi optical resolution.

• Fax—Do standalone black and color faxing at 33.6Kbps modem speed. Other fax features include 99

speed dials, automatic redial, junk fax blocking, and caller ID.

• Photo printing—Print high‑ quality, long‑lasting photos directly from digital memory cards,

PictBridge‑enabled digital cameras, or USB flash drives.

• SmartSolutions—Simplify printer tasks that you frequently repeat by creating and customizing your

printer solutions. Using the SmartSolutions toolkit on the Web, you can choose the printer tasks that you often perform, apply your custom settings, and download them to your printer as shortcuts that you can easily access anytime. You can also customize your printer with solutions that display your online calendars, online photo albums, RSS feeds, and more.

• Shortcuts—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.

• Eco‑Mode—Save energy by activating Eco‑Mode. It automatically dims the printer display light and

puts the printer into Sleep mode after a specified period of inactivity.
