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 Power Saver
mode after the printer is left idle for 10 minutes.
• Select the lowest Power Saver timeout. The Power Saver feature puts the printer in a minimum-power standby
mode after the printer has been idle for a set amount of time (the Power Saver 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
• Activate Eco-Mode. On selected printer models, this feature sets the printer to automatically print on both sides
of the paper (duplex) for copy and fax jobs and for printing in Windows.
• 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 8 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).
• 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.
• Use recycled paper.
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 High Yield cartridges. Inks in High-Yield cartridges allow you to print more pages with fewer cartridges.
• Clean the printhead. Before replacing and recycling your ink cartridges, try using the “Clean Printhead” and
“Deep Clean Printhead” features. These features clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality of your prints.
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.
Printer models

Printer features
Your printer comes with full features that will help you manage and accomplish printing and imaging tasks:
• Wireless. Print and scan from virtually anywhere in your home or office over a secure wireless network, as well
as share the printer among multiple computers.
• Print. Print high quality documents and PDFs faster from a computer, from a USB flash drive, or from a Bluetooth
device. Built-in two-sided printing lets you save money and the environment.
• Copy. Copy documents and photos with one-touch, computer-free black or color copying.
• Scan. Scan thick books, reports, and other multiple-page documents easily with the high resolution flatbed
scanner.
• Photo printing. Print photos directly from digital memory cards, PictBridge-enabled digital cameras, and USB
flash drives. Select photos to print using the proof sheet for computer-free printing.
• Eco-Mode. Save energy and paper by activating Eco-Mode. It automatically dims the printer display light, puts
the printer into Power Saver mode after 10 minutes of inactivity, and prints on both sides of the paper for copy
jobs and for printing in Windows.
