Recycling
used supplies
Lexmark’s Operation ReSource
SM
program lets you partic-
ipate in a worldwide recycling effort at no cost to you.
Simply package your used print cartridges, fuser, or trans-
fer belt in the shipping box used for the replacement sup-
ply. Follow the instructions on the outside of the box to
send the used supply back to Lexmark.
If a prepaid shipping label is not available for your coun-

Note:
Lexmark does not rec-

cannot be guaranteed if you do.
The printer warranty does not
cover damage caused by using
refilled cartridges.
