impact on the environment. We design with the environment in mind, engineer our packaging to reduce

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

Studies show that as much as 80% of the carbon footprint of a printer is related to paper usage. You can
significantly reduce your carbon footprint by using recycled paper and the following printing suggestions, such
as printing on both sides of the paper and printing multiple pages on one side of a single sheet of paper.
For information on how you can quickly save paper and energy using one printer setting, see
on page 146.
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,
