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
• 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.

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
ideal for printing documents that are mostly text.
• Use font types and font settings that requires 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.
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.

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.

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.
