Achieving better print quality
Improving print quality
If you are not satisfied with the print quality of a document, make sure you:

• Use the appropriate paper for the document. Use Lexmark Premium Photo Paper if you are printing photos or
other high-quality images.

• Make sure the glossy or printable side faces you. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the
instructions that came with the paper.)

• Use a paper that is a heavier weight or bright white.
• Select a higher print quality.
If the document still does not have the print quality you want, follow these steps:

1 Align the print cartridge. For more information, see “Aligning the print cartridge using the computer” on
page 54.
If print quality has not improved, continue to step 2.

2 Clean the print cartridge nozzles. For more information, see “Cleaning the print cartridge nozzles” on
page 54.
If print quality has not improved, continue to step 3.

3 Remove and reinsert the print cartridge. For more information, see “Removing a used print cartridge” on

The manufacturer is not responsible for 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 user's 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 number 1021294 for USB attach. Use of a
substitute cable not properly shielded and grounded may result in a violation of FCC regulations.

Product power consumption
The following table documents the power consumption characteristics of the product.
Note: Some modes may not apply to your product.
Mode

Description

Power consumption (Watts)

inputs.

12.0

Copying

The product is generating hard-copy output from hard-copy
original documents.

11.0

6.0

Mode

Description

Power consumption (Watts)

High Off

The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch n/a
is turned off.

Low Off (<1 W Off) The product is plugged into a wall outlet, the power switch is n/a
turned off, and the product is in the lowest possible power
consumption mode.
Off

The product is plugged into a wall outlet, but the power switch 3.5
is turned off.

The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements. Instantaneous
power draws may be substantially higher than the average. Values are subject to change. See
www.lexmark.com for current values.

Power Saver
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Power Saver. The Power Saver Mode is equivalent to
the EPA Sleep Mode. The Power Saver Mode saves energy by lowering power consumption during extended periods
of inactivity. The Power Saver Mode is automatically engaged after this product is not used for a specified period of
time, called the Power Saver Timeout.
Factory default Power Saver Timeout for this product (in minutes): 30

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 supply 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 mode's energy usage.

This limited warranty applies to the United States. For customers outside the U.S., see the country-specific warranty
information that came with your product.
This limited warranty applies to this product only if it was originally purchased for your use, and not for resale, from

of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions contained above may not apply to you.
This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
