Minimizing your printer's 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 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 and other office papers As an environmentally conscious company, Lexmark supports the use of recycled office paper produced specifically for use in laser (electrophotographic) printers. In 1998, Lexmark presented to the US government a study demonstrating that recycled paper produced by major mills in the US fed as well as non-recycled paper. However, no blanket statement can be made that all recycled paper will feed well. Lexmark consistently tests its printers with recycled paper (20-100% post-consumer waste) and a variety of test paper from around the world, using chamber tests for different temperature and humidity conditions. Lexmark has found no reason to discourage the use of today's recycled office papers, but generally the following property guidelines apply to recycled paper. • Low moisture content (4-5%) • Suitable smoothness (100-200 Sheffield units, or 140-350 Bendtsen units, European) Note: Some much smoother papers (such as premium 24 lb laser papers, 50-90 Sheffield units) and much rougher papers (such as premium cotton papers, 200-300 Sheffield units) have been engineered to work very well in laser printers, despite surface texture. Before using these types of paper, consult your paper supplier. • Suitable sheet-to-sheet coefficient of friction (0.4-0.6) • Sufficient bending resistance in the direction of feed Recycled paper, paper of lower weight (
