operating instructions, to a professional service person.
This product is designed, tested, and approved to meet strict 
global safety standards with the use of specific Lexmark 
components. The safety features of some parts may not 
always be obvious. Lexmark is not responsible for the use of 
other replacement parts.
Your product uses a laser. 
CAUTION: Use of controls or adjustments or performance of 
procedures other than those specified herein may result in 
hazardous radiation exposure.
Your product uses a printing process that heats the print 
media, and the heat may cause the media to release 
emissions. You must understand the section in your 
operating instructions that discusses the guidelines for 
selecting print media to avoid the possibility of harmful 
emissions.
Laser notice
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of 
DHHS 21 CFR Subchapter J for Class I (1) laser products, and 
elsewhere is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the 
requirements of IEC 60825-1.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The 
printer contains internally a Class IIIb (3b) laser that is nominally a 
5 milliwatt gallium arsenide laser operating in the wavelength region 
of 770-795 nanometers. The laser system and printer are designed 
so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a 
Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance, or 
prescribed service condition.

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:

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.

Printer energy consumption
The following table documents the power consumption 
characteristics of the printer.
The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent 
time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous power draws may be 
substantially higher than the average.
Powe r Save r
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 extended 
periods of inactivity. The Power Saver Mode is automatically 
engaged after this printer is not used for a specified period of time, 
called the Power Saver Timeout. The factory default Power Saver 
Timeout is 15 minutes for the Lexmark E230 and 30 minutes for the 
Lexmark E232, Lexmark E330, and Lexmark E332n.
By using the printer configuration menus, the Power Saver Timeout 
can be modified between 1 minute and 240 minutes. Setting the 
Power Saver Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, 
but may increase the response time of the printer. Setting the Power 
Saver Timeout to a high value maintains a fast response, but uses 
more energy.
If the Power Saver Mode is affecting the effective use of this printer, 
this mode can be disabled from the Local Printer Setup Utility (see 
page 103) or, if you have a network model, from the printer’s 
resident Web page (see page 102).
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 modes energy 
usage.
