Networking
Notes:
Purchase a MarkNet
TM
N8352 wireless network adapter before setting up the printer on a wireless network. For
information on installing the wireless network adapter, see the instruction sheet that came with the adapter.
A Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name assigned to a wireless network. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA), WPA2, and 802.1X - RADIUS are types of security used on a network.
Preparing to set up the printer on an Ethernet network
To configure your printer to connect to an Ethernet network, organize the following information before you begin:
Note: If your network automatically assigns IP addresses to computers and printers, continue on to installing the
printer.
A valid, unique IP address for the printer to use on the network
The network gateway
The network mask
A nickname for the printer (optional)
Note: A printer nickname can make it easier for you to identify your printer on the network. You can choose to
use the default printer nickname, or assign a name that is easier for you to remember.
You will need an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to the network and an available port where the printer can
physically connect to the network. Use a new network cable when possible to avoid potential problems caused by a
damaged cable.
Preparing to set up the printer on a wireless network
Notes:
Make sure your wireless network adapter is installed in your printer and working properly.
Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working properly.
Make sure you have the following information before setting up the printer on a wireless network:
SSID—The SSID is also referred to as the network name.
Wireless Mode (or Network Mode)—The mode is either infrastructure or ad hoc.
Channel (for ad hoc networks)—The channel defaults to automatic for infrastructure networks.
Some ad hoc networks will also require the automatic setting. Check with your system support person if you are
not sure which channel to select.
Additional printer setup 36
Security Method—There are three basic options for Security Method:
WEP key
If your network uses more than one WEP key, then enter up to four in the provided spaces. Select the key
currently in use on the network by selecting the default WEP transmit key.
or
WPA or WPA2 preshared key or passphrase
WPA includes encryption as an additional layer of security. The choices are AES or TKIP. Encryption must be set
for the same type on the router and on the printer, or the printer will not be able to communicate on the
network.
802.1X–RADIUS
If you are installing the printer on an 802.1X network, then you may need the following:
Authentication type
Inner authentication type
802.1X user name and password
Certificates
No security
If your wireless network does not use any type of security, then you will not have any security information.
Note: Using an unsecured wireless network is not recommended.
Notes:
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 then 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.
To find the WPA/WPA2 preshared key/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.

From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the
envelopes loaded in the tray.
Print samples on the envelopes being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Use envelopes designed specifically for laser printers.
For best performance, use envelopes made from 90g/m
2
(24lb) paper or 25% cotton.
Use only new envelopes from undamaged packages.
To optimize performance and minimize jams, do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl or twist.
Are stuck together or damaged in any way.
Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing.
Have metal clasps, string ties, or folding bars.
Have an interlocking design.
Have postage stamps attached.
Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position.
Have bent corners.
Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes.
Adjust the width guides to fit the width of the envelopes.
Before loading the envelopes on the tray, flex and fan the envelopes to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a
level surface.
Note: A combination of high humidity (over 60%) and high printing temperature may wrinkle or seal envelopes.
Tips on using labels
From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the labels
loaded in the tray.
Print samples on labels being considered for use before buying large quantities.
For more information on label printing, characteristics, and design, see the Card Stock & Label Guide at
http://support.lexmark.com.
Use labels designed specifically for laser printers.
Do not use labels with slick backing material.
Paper and specialty media guide 54
Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam. Partial sheets
also contaminate the printer and the cartridge with adhesive, and could void the printer and toner cartridge
warranties.
Do not use labels with exposed adhesive.
Before loading labels on the tray, flex and fan labels to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
Tips on using card stock
Card stock is heavy, singleply specialty media. Many of its variable characteristics, such as moisture content, thickness,
and texture, can significantly affect print quality.
From the printer control panel, set the paper size, type, texture, and weight in the Paper menu to match the card
stock loaded in the tray.
Print samples on the card stock being considered for use before buying large quantities.
Specify the paper texture and weight from the tray settings to match the paper loaded in the tray.
Preprinting, perforation, and creasing may significantly affect the print quality and cause jams or other paper feed
problems.
Before loading the card stock on the tray, flex and fan the card stock to loosen them. Straighten the edges on a
level surface.
Paper guidelines
Select the correct paper or specialty media to reduce printing problems. For the best print quality, try a sample of the
paper or specialty media before buying large quantities.
Paper characteristics
The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. Consider these characteristics when evaluating
new paper stock.
Weight
The printer trays can automatically feed paper weights up to 176g/m
2
(47lb) bond grain long paper. The multipurpose
feeder can automatically feed paper weights up to 176g/m
2
(47lb) bond grain long paper. Paper lighter than
60 g/m
2
(16 lb) might not be stiff enough to feed properly, causing jams. For best performance, use 75g/m
2
(20lb)
bond grain long paper. For paper smaller than 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1 inches), we recommend 90 g/m
2
(24 lb) or
heavier paper.
Note: Duplex printing is supported from 60–105g/m
2
(16–28lb) bond grain long paper.
Curl
Curl is the tendency for paper to curl at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl can occur after
the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper unwrapped in hot, humid,
cold, or dry conditions, even in the trays, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and can cause feeding
problems.
Paper and specialty media guide 55
Smoothness
Paper smoothness directly affects print quality. If paper is too rough, then toner cannot fuse to it properly. If paper is
too smooth, then it can cause paper feeding or print quality issues. Always use paper between 100 and 300 Sheffield
points; smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.
Moisture content
The amount of moisture in paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper correctly.
Leave paper in its original wrapper until it is time to use it. This limits the exposure of paper to moisture changes that
can degrade its performance.
Store paper in its original wrapper in the same environment as the printer for 24 to 48 hours before printing. Extend
the time to several days if the storage or transportation environment is very different from the printer environment.
Thick paper may also require a longer conditioning period.
Grain direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of
the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper.
For 60–90g/m
2
(16–24lb) bond paper, grain long paper is recommended.
Fiber content
Most highquality xerographic paper is made from 100% chemically treated pulped wood. This content provides the
paper with a high degree of stability resulting in fewer paper feeding problems and better print quality. Paper containing
fibers such as cotton can negatively affect paper handling.
Unacceptable paper
The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:
Chemically treated papers used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless papers, carbonless
copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper
Preprinted papers with chemicals that may contaminate the printer
Preprinted papers that can be affected by the temperature in the printer fuser
Preprinted papers that require a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ±2.3 mm (±0.9 in.),
such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms
In some cases, registration can be adjusted with a software application to successfully print on these forms.
Coated papers (erasable bond), synthetic papers, thermal papers
Roughedged, rough or heavily textured surface papers, or curled papers
Recycled papers that fail EN12281:2002 (European)
Paper weighing less than 60 g/m
2
(16 lb)
Multiplepart forms or documents
Selecting paper
Using the appropriate paper prevents jams and helps ensure troublefree printing.
Paper and specialty media guide 56
To help avoid paper jams and poor print quality:
Always use new, undamaged paper.
Before loading paper, know the recommended printable side of the paper. This information is usually indicated on
the paper package.
Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
Do not mix paper sizes, types, or weights in the same tray; mixing results in jams.
Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.
Selecting preprinted forms and letterhead
Use these guidelines when selecting preprinted forms and letterhead:
Use grain long for 60–90 g/m
2
(16–24 lb) paper.
Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.
Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
Use papers printed with heatresistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must be able to withstand
temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions. Use inks that are not affected by
the resin in toner. Inks that are oxidationset or oilbased generally meet these requirements; latex inks might not.
When in doubt, contact the paper supplier.
Preprinted papers such as letterhead must be able to withstand temperatures up to 230°C (446°F) without melting or
releasing hazardous emissions.
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 (<60 g/m
2
[16 lb bond]) and/or lower caliper (<3.8 mils [0.1 mm]), and paper
that is cut grain-short for portrait (or short-edge) fed printers may have lower bending resistance than is required for
reliable paper feeding. Before using these types of paper for laser (electrophotographic) printing, consult your paper
supplier. Remember that these are general guidelines only and that paper meeting these guidelines may still cause
paper feeding problems in any laser printer (for example, if the paper curls excessively under normal printing
conditions).
Paper and specialty media guide 57
Storing paper
Use these paper storage guidelines to help avoid jams and uneven print quality:
For best results, store paper where the temperature is 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40 percent. Most
label manufacturers recommend printing in a temperature range of 18–24°C (65–75°F) with relative humidity
between 40 and 60 percent.
Store paper in cartons, on a pallet or shelf, rather than on the floor.
Store individual packages on a flat surface.
Do not store anything on top of individual paper packages.
Take paper out of the carton or wrapper only when you are ready to load it in the printer. The carton and wrapper
help keep the paper clean, dry, and flat.
Supported paper sizes, types, and weights
The following tables provide information on standard and optional paper sources and the sizes, types, and weights of
paper they support.
Note: For unlisted paper sizes, select the closest larger listed size.

Saving money and the environment
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/recycle
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
“Using EcoMode” on
page 116.
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, see
“Using recycled
paper and other office papers” on page 57.
Conserving supplies
Use both sides of the paper
If your printer model supports twosided printing, then you can control whether print appears on one or two sides of
the paper.
Notes:
Two-sided printing is the default setting in the print driver.
For a complete list of supported products and countries, go to http://support.lexmark.com.
Place multiple pages on one sheet of paper
You can print up to 16 consecutive pages of a multiplepage document onto one side of a single sheet of paper by
setting multiple page printing (NUp) for the print job.
Saving money and the environment 115
Check your first draft for accuracy
Before printing or making multiple copies of a document:
Use the preview feature to see how the document looks like before you print it.
Print one copy of the document to check its content and format for accuracy.

Securing the printer
Using the security lock feature
The printer is equipped with a security lock feature. Attach a security lock compatible with most laptop computers in
the location shown to secure the printer in place.
Statement of Volatility
Your printer contains various types of memory that can store device and network settings, and user data.
Type of memory Description
Volatile memory Your printer uses standard random access memory (RAM) to
temporarily buffer user data during simple print jobs.
Non-volatile memory Your printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory:
EEPROM and NAND (flash memory). Both types are used to
store the operating system, device settings, network
information and bookmark settings, and embedded
solutions.
Hard disk memory Some printers have a hard disk drive installed. The printer
hard disk is designed for printer-specific functionality. This
lets the printer retain buffered user data from complex print
jobs, as well as form data, and font data.
Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:
The printer is being decommissioned.
The printer hard disk is being replaced.
Securing the printer 121
The printer is being moved to a different department or location.
The printer is being serviced by someone from outside your organization.
The printer is being removed from your premises for service.
The printer is being sold to another organization.
Disposing of a printer hard disk
Note: Some printer models may not have a printer hard disk installed.
In highsecurity environments, it may be necessary to take additional steps to make sure that confidential data stored
in the printer hard disk cannot be accessed when the printer—or its hard disk—is removed from your premises.
Degaussing—Flushes the hard disk with a magnetic field that erases stored data
Crushing—Physically compresses the hard disk to break component parts and render them unreadable
Milling—Physically shreds the hard disk into small metal bits
Note: Most data can be erased electronically, but the only way to guarantee that all data are completely erased is to
physically destroy each hard disk where data is stored.
Erasing volatile memory
The volatile memory (RAM) installed in your printer requires a power source to retain information. To erase the buffered
data, simply turn off the printer.
Erasing nonvolatile memory
Erase individual settings, device and network settings, security settings, and embedded solutions by following these
steps:
1 Turn off the printer.
2 Hold down 2 and 6 on the keypad while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the
progress bar appears.
The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the Configuration menu appears. When the printer is fully
turned on, a list of functions appears on the printer display instead of the standard home screen icons.
3 Touch Wipe All Settings.
The printer will restart several times during this process.
Note: Wipe All Settings securely removes device settings, solutions, jobs, and passwords from the printer
memory.
4 Touch Back > Exit Config Menu.
The printer will perform a poweron reset, and then return to normal operating mode.
Securing the printer 122
Erasing printer hard disk memory
Notes:
Some printer models may not have a printer hard disk installed.
Configuring Erase Temporary Data Files in the printer menus lets you remove residual confidential material left
by print jobs by securely overwriting files that have been marked for deletion.
Using the printer control panel
1 Turn off the printer.
2 Hold down 2 and 6 while turning the printer on. Release the buttons only when the screen with the progress bar
appears.
The printer performs a power-on sequence, and then the Configuration menu appears. When the printer is fully
turned on, a list of functions appears on the printer display.
3 Press the up or down arrow button until Wipe Disk appears, and then select one of the following:
Wipe disk (fast)—This lets you overwrite the disk with all zeroes in a single pass.
Wipe disk (secure)—This lets you overwrite the disk with random bit patterns several times, followed by a
verification pass. A secure overwrite is compliant with the DoD 5220.22M standard for securely erasing data
from a hard disk. Highly confidential information should be wiped using this method.
4 Press the up or down arrow button until Yes appears, and then proceed with disk wiping.
Notes:
A status bar will indicate the progress of the disk wiping task.
Disk wiping can take from several minutes to more than an hour, during which the printer will be unavailable
for other user tasks.
5 Navigate to:
Back > Exit Config Menu
The printer will perform a poweron reset, and then return to normal operating mode.
Finding printer security information
In high-security environments, it may be necessary to take additional steps to make sure that confidential data stored
in the printer cannot be accessed by unauthorized persons. For more information, visit the
Lexmark security Web page.
You can also see the Embedded Web Server — Security: Administrator’s Guide for additional information:
1 Go to www.lexmark.com, and then navigate to Support & Downloads > select your printer.

Color quality problems
FAQ about color printing
What is RGB color?
Red, green, and blue light can be added together in various amounts to produce a large range of colors observed in
nature. For example, red and green can be combined to create yellow. Televisions and computer monitors create
colors in this manner. RGB color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of red, green, or blue
needed to produce a certain color.
What is CMYK color?
Cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks or toners can be printed in various amounts to produce a large range of colors
observed in nature. For example, cyan and yellow can be combined to create green. Printing presses, inkjet printers,
and color laser printers create colors in this manner. CMYK color is a method of describing colors by indicating the
amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black needed to reproduce a particular color.
How is color specified in a document to be printed?
Software programs typically specify the document color using RGB or CMYK color combinations. Additionally, they
let users modify the color of each object in a document. For more information, see the help information of your
operating system.
How does the printer know what color to print?
When a user prints a document, information describing the type and color of each object is sent to the printer. The
color information is passed through color conversion tables that translate the color into the appropriate amounts of
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black toner needed to produce the color you want. The object information determines
the application of color conversion tables. For example, it is possible to apply one type of color conversion table to
text while applying a different color conversion table to photographic images.
What is manual color correction?
When manual color correction is enabled, the printer employs userselected color conversion tables to process
objects. However, Color Correction must be set to Manual, or no userdefined color conversion will be implemented.
Manual color correction settings are specific to the type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images), and how
the color of the object is specified in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations).
Notes:
Manual color correction is not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. It is also not effective in situations in which the software program or the computer operating
system controls the adjustment of colors.
When Auto Color Correction is selected, the color conversion tables will generate preferred colors used for
the majority of the documents.
To manually apply a different color conversion table, do the following:
1 From the Quality menu on the printer control panel, select Color Correction, and then select Manual.
2 From the Quality menu on the printer control panel, select Manual Color, and then select the appropriate color
conversion table for the affected object type.
Troubleshooting 205
Object type Color conversion tables

RGB Graphics
Vivid—Produces brighter, more saturated colors and may be applied
to all incoming color formats.
sRGB Display—Produces an output that approximates the colors
displayed on a computer monitor.
Note: Black toner usage is optimized for printing photographs.
DisplayTrue Black—Produces an output that approximates the
colors displayed on a computer monitor. This uses only black toner
to create all levels of neutral gray.
sRGB Vivid—Provides an increased color saturation for the sRGB
Display color correction.
Note: Black toner usage is optimized for printing business graphics.
Off—No color correction is implemented.
CMYK Image
CMYK Text
CMYK Graphics
US CMYK—Applies color correction to approximate the SWOP
(Specifications for Web Offset Publishing) color output.
Euro CMYK—Applies color correction to approximate Euroscale
color output.
Vivid CMYK—Increases the color saturation of the US CMYK color
correction setting.
Off—No color correction is implemented.
How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?
Nine types of Color Samples sets are available from the Quality menu on the printer control panel. These are also
available from the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates a
multiplepage printout consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Either a CMYK or RGB combination is located on
each box, depending on the table selected. The observed color of each box is obtained by passing the CMYK or RGB
combination labeled on the box through the selected color conversion table.
By examining Color Samples sets, you can identify the box whose color is the closest to the color you want. The color
combination labeled on the box can then be used for modifying the color of the object in a software program. For
more information, see the help information of your operating system.
Note: Manual color correction may be necessary to utilize the selected color conversion table for the particular
object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular colormatching problem depends on the Color Correction
setting being used , the type of object being printed, and how the color of the object is specified in the software
program. When Color Correction is set to Off, the color is based on the print job information, and no color conversion
is implemented.
Note: The Color Samples pages are not useful if the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK
combinations. Additionally, certain situations exist in which the software program or the computer operating
system adjusts the RGB or CMYK combinations specified in the program through color management. The resulting
printed color may not be an exact match of the Color Samples pages.
What are detailed color samples and how do I access them?
Detailed color samples sets are available only through the Embedded Web Server of a network printer. A detailed
Color Samples set contains a range of shades that are similar to a userdefined RGB or CMYK value. The likeness of
the colors in the set is dependent on the value entered in the RGB or CMYK Increment box.
Troubleshooting 206
To access a detailed Color Samples set from the Embedded Web Server, do the following:
1 Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.
Note: If you do not know the IP address or printer name, then you can:
View the information on the printer home screen, or in the TCP/IP section in the Networks/Ports menu.
Print a network setup page or menu settings page, and then locate the information in the TCP/IP section.
2 Click Configuration > Color Samples > Detailed Options.
3 Select a color conversion table.
4 Enter the RGB or CMYK color number.
5 Enter an increment value from 1 to 255.
Note: The closer the value is to 1, the narrower the color sample range will appear.
6 Click Print.

Notices 216
Sleep Mode
This product is designed with an energy-saving mode called Sleep Mode. The Sleep Mode saves energy by lowering
power consumption during extended periods of inactivity. The Sleep Mode is automatically engaged after this product
is not used for a specified period of time, called the Sleep Mode Timeout.
Factory default Sleep Mode Timeout for this product (in minutes): 20
By using the configuration menus, the Sleep Mode Timeout can be modified between 1 minute and 120 minutes. Setting
the Sleep Mode Timeout to a low value reduces energy consumption, but may increase the response time of the product.
Setting the Sleep Mode Timeout to a high value maintains a fast response, but uses more energy.
Hibernate Mode
This product is designed with an ultralow power operating mode called Hibernate mode. When operating in Hibernate
Mode, all other systems and devices are powered down safely.
The Hibernate mode can be entered in any of the following methods:
Using the Hibernate Timeout
Using the Schedule Power modes
Using the Sleep/Hibernate button
Factory default Hibernate Timeout for this product in all countries or regions 3 days
The amount of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it enters Hibernate mode can be modified between
one hour and one month.
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 electrical 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.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER LEXMARK NOR ITS THIRD PARTY SUPPLIERS OR
REMARKETERS MAKE ANY OTHER WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO THIS PRODUCT, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND SATISFACTORY QUALITY. ANY WARRANTIES THAT

Limitation of liability
Your sole remedy under this limited warranty is set forth in this document. For any claim concerning performance or
nonperformance of Lexmark or a Remarketer for this product under this limited warranty, you may recover actual
damages up to the limit set forth in the following paragraph.
Lexmark's liability for actual damages from any cause whatsoever will be limited to the amount you paid for the product

This is true even if you advise Lexmark or a Remarketer of the possibility of such damages. Lexmark is not liable for any

This limitation of remedies also applies to claims against any Suppliers and Remarketers of Lexmark. Lexmark's and its
Suppliers' and Remarketers' limitations of remedies are not cumulative. Such Suppliers and Remarketers are intended
beneficiaries of this limitation.
Additional rights
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or do not allow the exclusion or limitation
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.
