    							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/recycle
    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” on
    page 36.
    Using recycled paper and other office papers
    As an environmentally conscientious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled paper produced specifically for
    use in laser (electrophotographic) printers.
    While no blanket statement can be made that all recycled paper will feed well, Lexmark consistently tests papers that
    represent recycled cut size copier papers available on the global market. This scientific testing is conducted with rigor
    and discipline. Many factors are taken into consideration both separately and as a whole, including the following:
    Amount of post-consumer waste (Lexmark tests up to 100% post-consumer waste content.)
    Temperature and humidity conditions (Testing chambers simulate climates from all over the world.)
    Moisture content (Business papers should have low moisture: 4–5%.)
    Bending resistance and proper stiffness means optimum feeding through the printer.
    Thickness (impacts how much can be loaded into a tray)
    Surface roughness (measured in Sheffield units, impacts print clarity and how well toner fuses to the paper)
    Surface friction (determines how easily sheets can be separated)
    Grain and formation (impacts curling, which also influences the mechanics of how the paper behaves as it moves
    through the printer)
    Brightness and texture (look and feel)
    Recycled papers are better than ever; however, the amount of recycled content in a paper affects the degree of control
    over foreign matter. And while recycled papers are one good path to printing in an environmentally responsible manner,
    they are not perfect. The energy required to de-ink and deal with additives such as colorants and “glue” often generates
    more carbon emissions than does normal paper production. However, using recycled papers enables better resource
    management overall.
    Lexmark concerns itself with the responsible use of paper in general based on life cycle assessments of its products. To
    gain a better understanding of the impact of printers on the environment, the company commissioned a number of
    Minimizing your printers environmental impact
    34
    Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
    						
    							life cycle assessments and found that paper was identified as the primary contributor (up to 80%) of carbon emissions
    caused throughout the entire life of a device (from design to end-of-life). This is due to the energy-intensive
    manufacturing processes required to make paper.
    Thus, Lexmark seeks to educate customers and partners on minimizing the impact of paper. Using recycled paper is
    one way. Eliminating excessive and unnecessary paper consumption is another. Lexmark is well-equipped to help
    customers minimize printing and copying waste. In addition, the company encourages purchasing paper from suppliers
    who demonstrate their commitment to sustainable forestry practices.
    Lexmark does not endorse specific suppliers, although a converter’s product list for special applications is maintained.
    However, the following paper choice guidelines will help alleviate the environmental impact of printing:
    1Minimize paper consumption.
    2Be selective about the origin of wood fiber. Buy from suppliers who carry certifications such as the Forestry
    Stewardship Council (FSC) or The Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These certifications
    guarantee that the paper manufacturer uses wood pulp from forestry operators that employ environmentally and
    socially responsible forest management and restoration practices.
    3Choose the most appropriate paper for printing needs: normal 75 or 80 g/m2 certified paper, lower weight paper,
    or recycled paper.
    Unacceptable paper examples
    Test results indicate that the following paper types are at risk for use with laser printers:
    Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers
    Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the paper
    Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
    Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise location on the page) greater than ± 2.3 mm (± 0.9 in.),
    such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms. In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software
    application to successfully print on these forms.)
    Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
    Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface papers or curled papers
    Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European testing)
    Paper weighing less than 60 g/m2 (16 lb)
    Multiple part forms or documents

    at the Environmental Sustainability link.
    Conserving supplies
    There are a number of ways you can reduce the amount of paper and toner you use when printing. You can:
    Use both sides of the paper
    If your printer model supports duplex printing, you can control whether print appears on one or two sides of the paper
    by selecting 2-sided printing from the Print dialog or the Lexmark Toolbar.
    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 by
    selecting a setting from the Multipage printing (N-Up) section of the Print dialog.

    							Check your first draft for accuracy
    Before printing or making multiple copies of a document:
    Use the preview feature, which you can select from the Print dialog or the Lexmark Toolbar, to see how the document
    will look before you print it.
    Print one copy of the document to check its content and format for accuracy.

    This section explains how to use the 250-sheet tray, the manual feeder, an optional 550-sheet tray and the 650-sheet
    duo drawer with an integrated multipurpose feeder. It also includes information about paper orientation, setting the
    Paper Size and Paper Type, and linking and unlinking trays.
    Linking and unlinking trays
    Linking trays
    Tray linking is useful for large print jobs or multiple copies. When one linked tray is empty, paper feeds from the next
    linked tray. When the Paper Size and Paper Type settings are the same for any trays, the trays are automatically linked.
    The Paper Size setting for all trays must be set manually from the Paper Size menu. The Paper Type setting must be set
    for all trays from the Paper Type menu. The Paper Type menu and the Paper Size menu are both available from the
    Paper Size/Type menu.
    Unlinking trays
    Unlinked trays have settings that are not the same as the settings of any other tray.
    To unlink a tray, change the following tray settings so that they do not match the settings of any other tray:
    Paper Type (for example: Plain Paper, Letterhead, Custom Type )
    Paper Type names describe the paper characteristics. If the name that best describes your paper is used by linked
    trays, assign a different Paper Type name to the tray, such as Custom Type , or define your own custom name.
    Paper Size (for example: letter, A4, statement)
    Load a different paper size to change the Paper Size setting for a tray. Paper Size settings are not automatic; they
    must be set manually from the Paper Size menu.
    Warning—Potential Damage: Do not assign a Paper Type name that does not accurately describe the type of paper
    loaded in the tray. The temperature of the fuser varies according to the specified Paper Type. Paper may not be properly
    processed if an inaccurate Paper Type is selected.
    Assigning a custom paper type name to a tray
    Assign a Custom Type  name to a tray to link or unlink it. Associate the same Custom Type  name to each tray
    that you want to link.
