By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your printer's impact even further. This chapter
outlines the settings and tasks that may yield a greater environmental benefit.
Saving paper and toner
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 88.
Conserving supplies
There are a number of ways you can reduce the amount of paper and toner 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 a printed document, a copy, or an incoming
fax. For more information, see:
•
“Printing on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 93
•
“Copying on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 105
•
“Printing an incoming fax on both sides of the paper (duplexing)” on page 140
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 107.
Choose scanning
You can avoid making a paper output of a document or photograph by scanning it and then saving it to a computer
program, application, or flash drive. For more information, see:
•
“Sending an e-mail using the touch screen” on page 116
•
“Scanning to a computer” on page 150
