device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject 
to the 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:
•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•Increase the separation between the equipment and 
receiver.
•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different 
from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult your point of purchase or service representative for 
additional suggestions.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or television 
interference caused by using other than recommended cables or by 
unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment. Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the users 
authority to operate this equipment.
Note:To assure compliance with FCC regulations on 
electromagnetic interference for a Class B computing device, use a 
properly shielded and grounded cable such as Lexmark part 
number1021231 for parallel attach or 1021294 for USB attach. Use 
of a substitute cable not properly shielded and grounded may result 
in a violation of FCC regulations.

Noise emission levels
The following measurements were made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in conformance with ISO 9296.
Product energy consumption
The following table documents the power consumption characteristics of the product
The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous power draws may be 
substantially higher than the average.
Off mode
If this product has an off mode which still consumes a small amount of power, then to completely stop product power consumption, 
disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet.
Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to calculate the total product energy usage. Since power consumption claims are provided in power units of Watts, 
the power consumption should be multiplied by the time the product spends in each mode in order to calculate energy usage. The total 
product energy usage is the sum of each modes energy usage.

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.
