96 Chapter 6: Replacing supplies
Recycling
used supplies
Lexmark’s Operation ReSource SM program lets you partic-
ipate in a worldwide recycling effort at no cost to you.
Simply package your used toner cartridges and photocon-
ductors in the shipping box used for the replacement sup-
ply. Then follow the instructions on the outside of the box
to send the used supply back to Lexmark.
If a prepaid shipping label is not available for your coun-
try, contact the place where you bought your printer for
additional recycling information.
Note: Lexmark does not rec-
ommend refilling used toner car-
tridges or purchasing refilled
cartridges from a third party.
Print quality and printer reliability
cannot be guaranteed if you do.
The printer warranty does not
cover damage caused by using
refilled cartridges.
Conserving
supplies
There are several steps you can take to extend the life of
your printer supplies and reduce overall printing costs.
Depending on your printing requirements, you can reduce
the amount of toner you use for each print job, print drafts
of color documents in black only, and choose settings that
help reduce wear on the photoconductors and the devel-
oper rolls inside the toner cartridges.
Toner Saver setting Set Toner Saver On in the Color Menu to significantly
reduce the amount of toner applied to each page. Print
quality may vary, depending on the types of jobs you
print. For example, if your document is composed largely
of text and graphics, you may not detect any noticeable
difference in the print quality when Toner Saver is On. If
you are printing images, the colors in the images may
appear slightly less saturated.
