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).
About your printer

• 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 features
Your printer comes with full features that will help you manage and accomplish printing and imaging tasks:
• Wireless or Ethernet networking. Print and scan from virtually anywhere in your home or office over a secure
wireless or Ethernet network, as well as share the printer among multiple computers.
• Intuitive touch screen. Use the full-featured color touch screen for fast, easy access to all the printer menus. The
large screen also allows you to view, edit, and print photos directly from your digital camera or memory device
without using a computer.
• Print. Print 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. Enjoy 25% to 400%
reduction and enlargement capacity.
• Scan. Scan thick books, reports, and other multiple-page documents easily with the high resolution scanner.
Easily scan to a memory device or to multiple laptops or PCs over a secure wireless network with up to 1200 x
4800 optical resolution.
• Photo printing. Print high quality, long-lasting 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.
• 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, RSS feeds, and more.
• 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.

Maintaining ink cartridges
In addition to the following tasks that you can perform, your printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every
week if it is plugged into an electrical outlet. It will briefly come out of Power Saver mode or will temporarily power
on if it is turned off.
Aligning the printhead
If the characters or lines on your printer image appear jagged or wavy, then you may need to align the printhead.
Using the printer control panel

of your prints.
Notes:

Tips for e-mailing
• When using the ADF, adjust the paper guide on the ADF to the width of the original document.
• When using the scanner glass, close the scanner lid to avoid dark edges on the scanned image.
• Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine
clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
• Make sure to enter your e-mail account information and set up the SMTP server before sending an e-mail.
• Make sure the printer is connected to an Ethernet or wireless network before sending an e-mail.
If necessary, make sure the network is connected to the Internet for the printer to communicate with the SMTP
server. If the printer cannot connect to the Internet, then contact your system support person.
The printer supports only one active network connection (Ethernet or wireless) at a time.
• Add contacts to your address book. When sending an e-mail, you can just select contacts from your address book
instead of typing their e-mail addresses repeatedly.
