Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplex) 61 Printing tasks Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplex) Printing on both sides of the paper reduces total printing costs and is environmentally friendly. Macintosh does not support manual duplex printing. Follow the directions below to print on both sides of the paper (manual duplex) from Windows. Use Tray 1 to print the first side of a duplex job. Load the already-printed print media through either the priority feeder or Tray 1 to print the second side. Choose how the job is duplexed: Long Edge or Short Edge. Long Edge means pages are bound along the long edge of the page (left edge for portrait, top edge for landscape). Short Edge means pages are bound along the short edge of the page.

For example, 2-up means two page images are printed on one page, 4-up means four page images are printed on one page, and so on.

Supply items needed 66 Supplies information Supply items needed There are two supply items to replace: the long-life photoconductor kit and the toner cartridge. The long-life photoconductor kit typically lasts up to 25,000 pages (at approximately 5% coverage, on letter/A4 plain paper with intermittent printing, in an average Class B environment). How often the long-life photoconductor kit must be replaced depends on specific printing conditions. Factors such as temperature, humidity, media type, number of pages per job, page coverage and page size may affect the actual number of pages printed. The toner cartridge must be replaced more frequently. How often the toner cartridge must be replaced depends on the average amount of toner coverage used on print jobs. Ordering supplies Within the United States or Canada, order Lexmark supplies from an authorized Lexmark dealer. To locate a nearby dealer, call 1-800-539-6275. In other countries or regions, visit the Lexmark online store at www.lexmark.com or contact the place where the printer was purchased. The following supplies are recyclable through the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program. For information about the Lexmark recycle program, visit the online site at www.lexmark.com/recycle.

Assessing supply needs 67 Supplies information Storing supplies Choose a cool, clean storage area for supplies. Store supplies right side up in the original packaging until needed. Do not expose supplies to: Direct sunlight Temperatures above 35°C (95°F) High humidity (above 80%) Salty air Corrosive gases Heavy dust Conserving supplies Lower total printing costs by following these suggestions: Conserve toner when printing drafts by changing the Toner Darkness setting in the printer driver. The settings range from 1 (very light) to 10 (very dark), with 8 being the default. Setting the Toner Darkness to 1 conserves the most toner (see Software and Documentation CD for specific instructions). Reduce print media consumption by printing on both sides. Assessing supply needs The following sections describe ways to determine when supplies are needed. Checking toner cartridge and long-life photoconductor kit levels Print a menu settings page to determine approximately how much toner is left in the toner cartridge and how much life is remaining on the long-life photoconductor kit. For help printing a menu settings page, see Printing the menu settings and network setup page on page 44. The Toner low light sequence appears when the toner cartridge is nearing empty (see Toner low on page 23 for the Lexmark E120, or see Toner low on page 42 for the Lexmark E120n). Printing is still possible for a short time while the sequence is displayed, however print quality continues to degrade as the toner level decreases. To ensure print quality, order a new long-life photoconductor kit shortly after the Replace long-life photoconductor kit light sequence appears (see Replace long-life photoconductor kit on page 24 for the Lexmark E120, or see Replace long-life photoconductor kit on page 43 for the Lexmark E120n). Replace the long-life photoconductor kit when streaks or background shadings appear on the left side or at the bottom of the printed page, or when ghost images appear at specific locations on the printed page, as shown.
