Saving money and the environment
Lexmark is committed to environmental sustainability and is continually improving its printers to reduce their impact
on the environment. We design with the environment in mind, engineer our packaging to reduce materials, and provide
collection and recycling programs. For more information, see:
• The Notices chapter
• The Environmental Sustainability section of the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com/environment
• The Lexmark recycling program at www.lexmark.com/recycle
By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's impact even further. This chapter
outlines the settings and tasks that may yield a greater environmental benefit.
Saving paper and toner
Using recycled paper
As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for
use in laser/LED printers. For more information on recycled papers that work well with your printer, see “Using recycled
paper and other office papers” on page 43.
Conserving supplies
There are a number of ways you can reduce the amount of paper and toner you use when printing. You can:
Use both sides of the paper
If your printer model supports duplex printing, you can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper
by selecting 2‑sided printing from the Print dialog or the Lexmark Toolbar.
Place multiple pages on one sheet of paper
You can print up to 16 consecutive pages of a multiple‑page document onto one side of a single sheet of paper by
selecting a setting from the Multipage printing (N‑Up) section of the Print dialog.
Check your first draft for accuracy
Before printing or making multiple copies of a document:
• Use the preview feature, which you can select from the Print dialog or the Lexmark Toolbar, to see how the document
will look before you print it.
• Print one copy of the document to check its content and format for accuracy.
Avoid paper jams
Carefully select and load paper to avoid paper jams. For more information, see “Avoiding jams” on page 92.
