Minimizing your printer's environmental impact
We are committed to protecting the environment and are continually improving our printers to reduce
their environmental impact. By selecting certain printer settings or tasks, you may be able to reduce your
printer's environmental impact even further.
Conserving energy
•Activate Eco-Mode. This feature sets the screen brightness to low and sets the printer to change to
Sleep mode after the printer is left idle for 10 minutes.
•Select the lowest Sleep timeout. The Sleep feature puts the printer in a minimum‑power standby
mode after the printer has been idle for a set amount of time (the Sleep timeout).
•Share your printer. Wireless/network printers allow you to share a single printer among multiple
computers, thus conserving energy and other resources.
Conserving paper
•Print more than one page image on one side of the paper. The Pages per Sheet feature allows you
to print multiple pages on one sheet. You can print up to 16 page images on one side of a sheet of
paper.
•Print on both sides of the paper. Duplexing lets you print on both sides of the paper manually or
automatically (depending on your printer model).
•Preview print jobs before printing. Use the preview features found in Toolbars, the Print or Print
Preview dialog, or the printer display (depending on your printer model).
•Use recycled paper.
•Reduce the margins of documents to be printed.
•Scan and save. To avoid printing multiple copies, you can scan documents or photographs and save
them to a computer program, application, or flash drive for presentation.
Conserving ink
•Use Quick Print or Draft Mode. These modes can be used to print documents using less ink than
normal and are ideal for printing documents that are mostly text.
•Use font types and font settings that require less ink. Most programs or applications let you adjust
the darkness of the colors.
•Use high‑yield cartridges. These cartridges let you print more pages.
Recycling
•Return ink cartridges for reuse or recycling through the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program. To
return an ink cartridge, go to www.lexmark.com/recycle, and then follow the instructions to request
a postage‑paid bag.
•Recycle the product packaging.
•Recycle your old printer instead of throwing it away.
•Recycle paper from discarded print jobs.
•Use recycled paper.
About your printer 5
To read the Lexmark Environmental Sustainability Report, visit www.lexmark.com/environment.
Note: Your printer may not come with some of these programs or some of the functions of these
programs, depending on the features of the printer that you purchased.
Printer models
The installation software CD that came with your printer works for the following printer models:
•Lexmark Pro715
•Lexmark Pro719
Printer features
Depending on the model, your printer comes with features that will help you manage and accomplish
printing and imaging tasks:
•Wireless or Ethernet networking—Print and scan from anywhere in your home or office over a secure
wireless or Ethernet network, as well as share the printer among multiple computers.
•Intuitive touch screen—Use the full‑featured color touch screen for fast, easy access to all the printer
menus. The large screen also allows you to view and print photos directly from your digital camera or
memory device without using a computer.
•Print—Print documents and PDFs quickly from a computer or from a USB flash drive. Built‑in two‑sided
printing lets you save money and the environment.
•Copy—Copy documents and photos with one‑touch, computer‑free black or color copying. Enjoy 25%
to 400% reduction and enlargement capacity.
•Scan—Scan documents and photos fast and easily with the high‑resolution scanner. Easily scan to a
memory device or to multiple laptops or computers over a secure wireless network with up to 1200 dpi
optical resolution.
•Fax—Do standalone black and color faxing at 33.6Kbps modem speed. Other fax features include 99
speed dials, automatic redial, junk fax blocking, and caller ID.
•Photo printing—Print high‑quality, long‑lasting photos directly from digital memory cards,
PictBridge‑enabled digital cameras, or USB flash drives.
•SmartSolutions—Simplify printer tasks that you frequently repeat by creating and customizing your
printer solutions. Using the SmartSolutions toolkit on the Web, you can choose the printer tasks that
you often perform, apply your custom settings, and download them to your printer as shortcuts that
you can easily access anytime. You can also customize your printer with solutions that display your
online calendars, online photo albums, RSS feeds, and more.
•Shortcuts—Save a set of frequently used printer settings available for a given task and then assign a
shortcut name and shortcut number to it. When you want to perform a task with those settings, you
can simply select the shortcut number on the printer instead of going through the usual process of
adjusting the settings and options.
•Eco‑Mode—Save energy by activating Eco‑Mode. It automatically dims the printer display light and
puts the printer into Sleep mode after a specified period of inactivity.

Notes:

Maintaining ink cartridges
In addition to the following tasks that you can perform, your printer performs an automatic maintenance
cycle every week if it is plugged into an electrical outlet. It will briefly come out of Sleep mode or will
temporarily turn on if it is turned off.
Aligning the printhead
If the characters or lines on your printed image appear jagged or wavy, then you may need to align the
printhead.
1Load plain paper.
2From the printer control panel, navigate to:
> Setup > >Maintenance > > Align Printer >
An alignment page prints.
Note: Do not remove the alignment page until printing is finished.
If you aligned the cartridges to improve print quality, then print your document again. If print quality has

Cleaning the printhead nozzles
If you have not been using the printer for a long period, then you may need to clean the printhead nozzles
to improve the quality of your prints. Keep your printer plugged to a properly grounded, working electrical
outlet to allow it to perform automatic maintenance cycles.
Notes:
•Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.
•Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.
•If the ink levels are too low, you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead
nozzles.
1Load paper.
2From the printer control panel, navigate to:
> Setup > > Maintenance >
3Press the up or down arrow button to scroll to Clean Printhead or Deep Clean

Printing from a mobile device
What is LexPrint?
LexPrint is a free application that lets you print easily from your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch using any
Lexmark printer connected to the same wireless network. It lets you print Web pages, photos from the
photo album, or photos you recently captured using the camera of your mobile device, depending on its
features. You can also customize print settings from your mobile device.
Depending on your Lexmark printer model, you may need to download the LexPrint Listener application
from our Web site at www.lexmark.com/lexprint.
Supported printers
LexPrint enables your mobile device to communicate with Lexmark printers found on the same network.
•For select printer models that support Direct Image and Zeroconf or Bonjour, you can print directly
from your mobile device to the printer without using LexPrint Listener. To check if your printer model
supports these features, visit www.lexmark.com/lexprint.
•For other Lexmark printers, your mobile device can send print jobs to your printer as long as the printer
software and LexPrint Listener are installed on the computer where the printer is connected.
Note: The application referred to as Rendezvous in Mac OS X version 10.2 is now called Bonjour by
Apple Inc.

Setting up the printer to fax
CAUTION—POTENTIAL INJURY: To reduce risk of fire, use only the telecommunications (RJ‑11)
cord provided with this product or a UL Listed 26 AWG or larger replacement when connecting
this product to the public switched telephone network.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up
this product or make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the power supply cord or
telephone, during a lightning storm.
Step 1: Connect the printer to the telephone line
Check the scenarios below and follow the setup that is applicable to your telephone service.
Scenario 1: Standard telephone line
Setup 1: Printer is connected to a dedicated fax line
EXT
LINE
To connect:
Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
Tips for this setup:
•You can set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On) or manually (Auto Answer
Off).
•If you want to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), then set the printer to pick up on any
number of rings that you want.
Setup 2: Printer is sharing the line with an answering machine
Connected to the same telephone wall jack
EXT
LINE
PHONE
LINE
To connect:
1Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
2Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the answering machine
to the port.
Setting up the printer to fax 30
Connected to different wall jacks
EXT
LINE
PHONE
LINE
To connect:
Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
Tips for this setup:
•If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes
automatically (Auto Answer On).
•Set the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering
machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the
answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the
printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call.
•If you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided by your telephone company, then make sure that
you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if
you have set it to receive faxes automatically.
Setup 3: Printer is sharing the line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail service
EXT
LINE
02
To connect:
1Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
2Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the
port.
Tips for this setup:
•This setup works best if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service. If you have distinctive ring service,
then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer. Otherwise, the printer will not
receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.
•If you have only one telephone number on your line, then you need to set the printer to receive faxes
manually (Auto Answer Off).
Setting up the printer to fax 31
When you answer the telephone and you hear fax tones, press *9* or the manual answer code on the
telephone to receive the fax.
•You can also set the printer to receive faxes automatically (Auto Answer On), but you need to turn off
the voice mail service when you are expecting a fax. This setting works best if you are using voice mail
more often than fax.
Scenario 2: Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
EXT
LINE
A Digital Subscriber Line splits your regular telephone line into two channels: voice and Internet. Telephone
and fax signals travel through the voice channel, and Internet signals pass through the other channel. This
way, you can use the same line for analog voice calls (including faxes) and digital Internet access.
To minimize interference between the two channels and ensure a quality connection, you need to install
a DSL filter for the analog devices (fax machine, telephone, answering machine) in your network.
Interference causes noise and static on the telephone, failed and poor quality faxes for the printer, and
slow Internet connection on your computer.
To install a filter for the printer:
1Connect the line port of the DSL filter to the wall jack.
2Connect a telephone cable from the port on the back of the printer to the phone port on the DSL
filter.
3To continue using a computer for Internet access, connect the computer to the DSL HPN port on the
DSL filter.
4To connect a telephone to the printer, remove the protective plug from the port of the printer
and then connect the telephone to the port.
Scenario 3: VoIP telephone service
To connect:
1Connect one end of a telephone cable to the port of the printer.
Setting up the printer to fax 32
2Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the VoIP adapter.
The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your VoIP
provider if you want to activate the second phone port.
3Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the
port.
Tips for this setup:
•To make sure that the phone port on the VoIP adapter is active, plug an analog telephone into the
phone port, and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.
•If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer
into the second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line
1 or Phone Port, and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.
Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct
splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.
Scenario 4: Digital telephone service through a cable provider
Setup 1: Printer is connected directly to a cable modem
Follow this setup if you normally connect your telephone to a cable modem.
To connect:
1Connect one end of a telephone cable to the port of the printer.
2Connect the other end of the cable to the port labeled Phone Line 1 or Phone Port on the cable modem.
The port labeled Phone Line 2 or Fax Port is not always active. You may need to pay extra to your
cable provider if you want to activate the second phone port.
3Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the
port.
Tips for this setup:
•To make sure that the phone port on the cable modem is active, plug an analog telephone into the
phone port, and then listen for a dial tone. If you hear a dial tone, then the port is active.
Setting up the printer to fax 33
•If you need two phone ports for your devices but do not want to pay extra, then do not plug the printer
into the second phone port. You can use a phone splitter. Plug the phone splitter into the Phone Line
1 or Phone Port , and then plug the printer and telephone into the splitter.
Make sure you use a phone splitter, not a line splitter. To make sure that you are using the correct
splitter, plug an analog telephone into the splitter and then listen for a dial tone.
Setup 2: Printer is connected to a wall jack; cable modem is installed elsewhere in
the house
Follow this setup if your cable provider activated the wall jacks in your house so that you do not have to
plug your devices into the cable modem. Your cable telephone service comes from the wall jacks.
To connect:
1Connect the cable from the wall jack to the port of the printer.
2Remove the protective plug from the port of the printer, and then connect the telephone to the
port.
Scenario 5: Country‑ or region‑specific setup
Different countries or regions have different types of telephone wall jacks. The standard wall jack adopted
by most countries or regions is the Registered Jack-11 (RJ-11). You need to have an RJ‑11 plug, or a
telephone cable that has an RJ‑11 connector, so you can connect a device to an RJ‑11 wall jack.
The fax ports on the back of the printer and the telephone cable that comes with the printer have RJ‑11
connectors. If you have a different type of connector in your country or region, then you may need to use
an RJ‑11 adapter.

If you do not hear a dial tone, then review Step 1 or see the “Fax troubleshooting checklist” on page
46.
Step 3: Set your fax name and fax number
Your user information includes your name or your company name, your fax number (your fax number is
your telephone number, unless you have a dedicated fax telephone line), and the time and date on your
fax machine when a transmission is made. This information appears in the header and footer of the faxes
that you send.
In some countries, you cannot send a fax without this information. Some fax machines also block faxes
without sender information, so make sure that you enter this information in your printer.

Step 5: Set the number of rings
If you set Auto Answer to On in Step 4, then do the following. If you set Auto Answer to Off, then proceed
to Step 6.
If you subscribe to Distinctive Ring
Setting the correct ring is important if you subscribe to the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DPRD)
feature offered by telephone companies. This feature allows you to have multiple telephone numbers on
one telephone line. Each telephone number has a designated ring pattern (All Rings, Single Ring Only,
Double Ring Only, Triple Ring Only, Single or Double Rings Only, Single or Triple Rings Only, Double or
Triple Rings Only). The different ring patterns let you know which telephone number was dialed and which
device you should use to answer the call.
Assign one of your telephone numbers to the printer as the fax number, and then set the printer to answer
the ring pattern of that number. If the pattern is set incorrectly, then the printer rings, but it never receives
the fax.

printer.
Faxing 39
Receiving faxes automatically
1Make sure that Auto Answer is on:
From the printer control panel, navigate to:
> Setup > > Fax Setup > > Ringing and Answering > > Auto Answer > > On >
2Set the number of rings before the printer picks up incoming faxes:
aPress the arrow buttons to scroll to Pick Up On, and then press .
bPress the arrow buttons to scroll to the number of rings that you want, and then press to save
the setting.
When the number of rings you set is detected, the printer automatically receives the incoming fax.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the cables or the and ports while actively receiving
a fax.
Tips:
•If the printer is sharing the line with other analog devices (telephone, answering machine), then set
the printer to pick up calls two rings after the answering machine. For example, if the answering
machine picks up calls after four rings, then set the printer to pick up after six rings. This way, the
answering machine picks up calls first and your voice calls are received. If the call is a fax, then the
printer detects the fax signal on the line and takes over the call. If the printer is on a dedicated fax line,
then you may set the printer to pick up on any number of rings.
•If you have multiple numbers on a single line, or if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service provided
by your telephone company, then make sure that you set the correct ring pattern for the printer.
Otherwise, the printer will not receive faxes even if you have set it to receive faxes automatically.
Receiving faxes manually

From the printer control panel, navigate to:
> Setup > > Fax Setup > > Ringing and Answering > > Auto Answer > > Off >
2When the telephone rings and you hear fax tones when you pick up the handset, press on the
printer or *9* on the telephone attached to the printer.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not touch the cables or the and ports while actively receiving
a fax.
Tips:
•The default code for answering faxes manually is *9*, but for increased security, you can change it to
a number that only you know. You can enter up to 7 characters for your code. The valid characters are
the digits 0–9 and the characters # and *.
•Make sure that the telephone is plugged into the port on the back of the printer and that the
printer is connected to the wall jack through the port.

Wireless networking
Information you will need to set up the printer on a
wireless network
To set up the printer for wireless printing, you need to know:
•The name of your wireless network, which is also known as the SSID (Service Set Identifier)
•If encryption was used to secure your network
•The security key (either a WEP key or WPA/WPA2 passphrase)
To find the WPA/WPA2 passphrase for the wireless network, see the documentation that came with
the access point, see the Web page associated with the access point, or consult your system support
person.
If your access point is using WEP security, then the WEP key should be:
•Exactly 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters
or
•Exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters
If your access point is using WPA or WPA2 security, then the WPA/WPA2 passphrase should be:
•Exactly 64 hexadecimal characters
or
•From 8 to 63 ASCII characters
Notes:
•Hexadecimal characters are A–F, a–f, and 0–9.
•ASCII characters are letters, numbers, and symbols found on a keyboard. ASCII characters in a
WPA/WPA2 passphrase are case‑sensitive.
If your wireless network is not using security, then you will not have a security key.
Note: If you do not know the SSID of the network that your computer is connected to, then launch the
wireless utility of the computer network adapter and look for the network name. If you cannot find the
SSID or the security information for your network, then see the documentation that came with the
access point, or contact your system support person.
Installing the printer on a wireless network
Before you install the printer on a wireless network, make sure that:
•Your wireless network is set up and working properly.
•The computer you are using is connected to the same wireless network where you want to set up the
printer.

What is Wi‑Fi Protected Setup?
Wi
‑
Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a simple and secure configuration that allows you to establish a wireless
home network and enable network security without requiring prior knowledge of Wi‑Fi technology. It is
no longer necessary to configure the network name (SSID) and WEP key or WPA passphrase for network
devices.
Note: WPS supports only networks that communicate through access points (wireless routers).
The printer supports the following methods in connecting to a wireless network:
•Personal Identification Number (PIN)—A PIN on the printer is entered into the wireless settings of the
access point.
•Push Button Configuration (PBC)—Buttons on both the printer and the access point are pushed within
a given period of time.
Look for any of these identifier marks to check if your access point is WPS certified:
Wireless networking 41
You can find these WPS logos on the side, back, or top of your access point.
For more information on accessing the wireless settings and determining the WPS capability of your access
point, see the documentation that came with the access point or contact your system support person.
Configuring Wi‑Fi Protected Setup manually
Note: Make sure your access point (wireless router) is Wi‑Fi Protected Setup (WPS) certified. For more
information, see the User’s Guide.

1Check for a dial tone on the telephone line by plugging an analog telephone into the wall jack, DSL
filter, VoIP device, or cable modem where you connected the printer. Make sure you plug the
telephone into the same port.
If you do not hear a dial tone, then contact your line provider.
2While the printer is connected to the telephone line, check for a dial tone by plugging an analog
telephone into the port of the printer.
If you do not hear a dial tone, then use the checklist below. Listen for a dial tone after checking each
item.
If you hear a dial tone but still have problems sending and receiving faxes, then see the other topics
in this section.
Connection checklist
•Make sure that the printer and other devices on the line (if applicable) are set up and configured
correctly according to your setup scenario.
•Make sure that the cables are connected to the correct ports.
•Make sure that the cables are securely plugged in.
Check the cable connections for the following hardware, if applicable:

ECREASE
THE
TRANSMISSION
SPEED
OF
THE
FAX
MODEM
The modem of the printer can transmit data at 33,600 bps. This is the maximum speed at which the
printer can send and receive faxes. It is not necessary, however, to set the modem to its fastest
transmission capability. The speed of the modem of the receiving fax machine must match or be greater
than the speed at which you are sending your fax. Otherwise, your fax will not be received.

The fax settings depend on whether the printer is connected to its own fax line or shares the line with
other devices.
If the printer is sharing the telephone line with an answering machine, then make sure that the following
are set:
•Auto Answer is On.
•The printer picks up on a greater number of rings than the answering machine.
•The printer picks up on the correct distinctive ring (if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service).
If the printer is sharing the telephone line with a telephone subscribed to voice mail, then make sure
that the following are set:
•Auto Answer is Off (if you have only one number on the telephone line).
•The printer picks up on the correct distinctive ring (if you subscribe to a distinctive ring service).
M

TO
AN
ANALOG
PORT
The printer is an analog device. If you are using a PBX system, then make sure that the printer is
connected to an analog port on the PBX. You may need a digital line converter that converts digital
signals into analog signals.
M
AKE
SURE
THAT
THE
PRINTER
MEMORY
IS
NOT
FULL
The printer saves an incoming fax to the printer memory before it prints the fax. If the printer runs out
of ink or runs out of paper while receiving the fax, then the printer saves the fax so you can print it
later. However, if the printer memory is full, then the printer may not be able to receive more incoming
faxes. An error message appears on the display when the printer memory is full. Resolve the error to
free up space in the printer memory.

Wireless network troubleshooting
If you are having trouble setting up your printer on a network, print a network setup page, and then see
the User's Guide available on the installation software CD.
Also, make sure to check the network indicator lights to verify the connection status of the printer. For
more information on the location of the network indicator lights, see“Using the printer control panel” on
page 13.
Wireless troubleshooting checklist
Before beginning to troubleshoot the wireless printer, verify the following:
•The printer, the computer, and the access point (wireless router) are all plugged in and turned on.
•The wireless network is working properly.
Try accessing other computers on your wireless network.
If your network has Internet access, then try connecting to the Internet over a wireless connection.
•Your SSID is correct.
Troubleshooting 47
Print a network setup page to verify the SSID the printer is using.
If you are not sure if your SSID is correct, then run the wireless setup again.
•Your WEP key or WPA passphrase is correct (if your network is secure).
Log on to the access point and check the security settings.
A security key is like a password. All devices on the same wireless network using WEP, WPA, or WPA2
share the same security key.
If you are not sure if your security information is correct, then run the wireless setup again.
•The printer and the computer are within the range of the wireless network.
For most networks, the printer and the computer should be within 100 feet (30 meters) of the access
point (wireless router).
•The Wi‑Fi indicator is green and successfully connected.
•The printer driver is installed on the computer from which you are performing a task.
•The correct printer port is selected.
•The computer and printer are both connected to the same wireless network.
•The printer is located away from obstacles or electronic devices that could interfere with the wireless
signal.
Make sure the printer and access point are not separated by poles, walls, or support columns
containing metal or concrete.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including baby monitors, motors, cordless phones,
security system cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.
Printing a network setup page
A network setup page lists the configuration settings of the printer, including the IP address and MAC
address of the printer.
