							Minimizing your printers environmental impact
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/recycling
By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printers impact even further. This chapter
outlines the settings and tasks that may yield a greater environmental benefit.
Saving paper and toner
Studies show that as much as 80% of the carbon footprint of a printer is related to paper usage. You can significantly
reduce your carbon footprint by using recycled paper and the following printing suggestions, such as printing on both
sides of the paper and printing multiple pages on one side of a single sheet of paper.
For information on how you can quickly save paper and energy using one printer setting, see Using Eco-Mode.
Using recycled paper
As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for
use in laser printers. For more information on recycled papers that work well with your printer, see “Using recycled
paper and other office papers” on page 55.
Conserving supplies
There are a number of ways to reduce the amount of paper you use when printing, copying, or receiving faxes. You
can:
Use both sides of the paper
You can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper for an incoming fax, a printed document, or a
copy. For more information, see:
“Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 61
“Copying on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 71
“Printing incoming faxes on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 98
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 from
the Print dialog.
To copy two or four consecutive pages of a multiple‑page document onto one side of a single sheet of paper, see
“Copying multiple pages onto a single sheet” on page 74. Minimizing your printers environmental impact 34

							Choose scanning
You can avoid making a paper output of a document or photograph by scanning it to save to a computer program,
application, or flash drive. For more information, see:
“Scanning to a computer” on page 103
“Scanning to a flash drive” on page 104
Check your first draft for accuracy
Before printing or making multiple copies of a document:
Use the Lexmark preview feature, which you can select from the Print dialog, the Lexmark Toolbar, or the printer
display, to see what the document will look like 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 40.
Saving energy
You may be able to further reduce energy by adjusting Power Saver.
