Federal Communications Commission (FCC) compliance information statement  
The Lexmark 2300 Series All-In-One (4420-001) has 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) 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 12A2405 for USB attach. Use of a substitute cable not properly shielded and  
grounded may result in a violation of FCC regulations.  
Any questions regarding this compliance information statement should be directed to:

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.

The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged  
measurements. Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.  
Power Saver  
As part of the ENERGY STAR program, this printer is designed with an energy saving mode  
called Power Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to the EPA Sleep Mode. The Power  
Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during periods of inactivity. The  
period of time between the last operation and entering Power Saver is called the Power Saver  
Timeout. For this product, the Power Saver Mode is entered after 0 minutes. The Power Saver  
Timeout cannot be modified by the user.  
Off modes  
This printer has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power. To completely stop  
printer power consumption, disconnect the power supply from the wall outlet.  
Total energy usage  
It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total printer energy usage. Since power consumption  
claims are provided in power units of Watts, the power consumption should be multiplied by the  
time the printer spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total printer  
energy usage is the sum of each mode's energy usage.  
Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive  
The WEEE logo signifies specific recycling programs and procedures for electronic products  
in countries of the European Union. We encourage the recycling of our products. If you have  
further questions about recycling options, visit the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for  
your local sales office phone number.
