The Lexmark T family base printers, Types 4060-000 and 4060-200, and network printers, Types
4060-010 and 4060-210, have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
12
Electronic emission notices
this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
The FCC Class B limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult your point of purchase or service representative for additional suggestions.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused by using other
than recommended cables or by unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Note: To assure compliance with FCC regulations on electromagnetic interference for a
Class B computing device, use a properly shielded and grounded cable such as
Lexmark part number 1329605 for parallel attach or 12A2405 for USB attach. Use
of a substitute cable not properly shielded and grounded may result in a violation
of FCC regulations.

Energy Star
The EPA ENERGY STAR Office Equipment program is a partnership effort with office equipment
manufacturers to promote the introduction of energy-efficient products and to reduce air pollution
caused by power generation.
Companies participating in this program introduce products that power down when they are not
being used. This feature will cut the energy used by up to 50 percent. Lexmark is proud to be a
participant in this program.
As an ENERGY STAR Partner, Lexmark International, Inc. has determined that this product meets
the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
Laser notice
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for
Class I (1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the
requirements of IEC 60825-1.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The printer contains internally a Class IIIb
(3b) laser that is nominally a 5 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength region of
770-795 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed so there is never any human
access to laser radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or
prescribed service condition.

Print media guidelines
Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps you avoid printing problems.
The following sections contain guidelines for choosing the correct print media for your printer.
For detailed information about print media characteristics, refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide
available on Lexmark’s Web site at www.lexmark.com/publications.
Paper
For the best print quality, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. Try a sample of any
paper you are considering using with the printer before buying large quantities.
When loading paper, note the recommended print side on the paper package, and load paper
accordingly. See Loading print media in standard and optional traysand Using and loading the
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. We recommend that you follow
these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.

Print media guidelines
Curl
Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding
problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high
temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in humid conditions, even in the paper tray, can contribute to
paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding problems, also.
Smoothness
The degree of smoothness of paper directly affects print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner
does not fuse to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can
cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness needs to be between 100 and 300 Sheffield points;
however, smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.
Moisture content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the
paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. This limits the
exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
Grain direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long,
running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.

For 60 to 135 g/m
than 135 g/m
(16 to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For papers heavier

(36 lb bond), grain short is preferred. For the multipurpose feeder, 60 to 135 g/m2 (16
to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For the multipurpose feeder, papers

heavier than 135 g/m
(36 lb bond), grain short is preferred.
Fiber content
Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically pulped wood. This content
provides the paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and
better print quality. Paper containing fibers such as cotton possess characteristics that can result in
degraded paper handling.
Recommended paper
To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business
papers designed for general business use may also provide acceptable print quality.
Always print several samples before buying large quantities of any type of print media. When
choosing any print media, consider the weight, fiber content, and color.
The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures of 225°C (437°F) for Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition (MICR) applications, and 205°C (401°F) for non-MICR applications. Use only
paper able to withstand these temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous
emissions. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen
is acceptable for laser printers.
