Securing the printer 32
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 buer 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 buered 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.
• The printer is being moved to a dierent 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 high‑security 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.
Securing the printer 33

Warning—Potential Damage: Failure to maintain optimum printer performance, or to replace parts and
supplies, may cause damage to your printer.

FAQ about color printing
What is RGB color?
RGB color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of red, green, or blue used to produce
a certain color. Red, green, and blue light can be added in various amounts to produce a large range of colors
observed in nature. Computer screens, scanners, and digital cameras use this method to display colors.
Troubleshooting 103
What is CMYK color?
CMYK color is a method of describing colors by indicating the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black
used to reproduce a particular 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. Printing presses, inkjet printers, and color
laser printers create colors in this manner.
How is color specified in a document to be printed?
Software programs are used to specify and modify the document color using RGB or CMYK color
combinations. For more information, see the software program Help topics.
How does the printer know what color to print?
When printing a document, information describing the type and color of each object is sent to the printer and
is passed through color conversion tables. Color is translated into the appropriate amounts of cyan, magenta,
yellow, and black toner used 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 dierent color conversion table to photographic images.
What is manual color correction?
When manual color correction is enabled, the printer employs user‑selected color conversion tables to
process objects. Manual color correction settings are specific to the type of object being printed (text,
graphics, or images). It is also specific to how the color of the object is specified in the software program
(RGB or CMYK combinations). To apply a dierent color conversion table manually, see
“Modifying the colors
in printed output” on page 103.
If the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, then manual color correction
is not useful. It is also not eective if the software program or the computer operating system controls the
adjustment of colors. In most situations, setting the Color Correction to Auto generates preferred colors for
the documents.
How can I match a particular color (such as a corporate logo)?
From the printer Quality menu, nine types of Color Samples sets are available. These sets are also available
from the Color Samples page of the Embedded Web Server. Selecting any sample set generates
multiple‑page prints consisting of hundreds of colored boxes. Each box contains a CMYK or RGB combination,
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 with color closest to the color being matched.
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 software program Help topics. Manual color correction may be
necessary to use the selected color conversion table for the particular object.
Selecting which Color Samples set to use for a particular color‑matching problem depends on:
• The Color Correction setting being used (Auto, O, or Manual)
• The type of object being printed (text, graphics, or images)
• How the color of the object is
specified
in the software program (RGB or CMYK combinations)
If the software program does not specify colors with RGB or CMYK combinations, then the Color Samples
pages are not useful. Additionally, some software programs adjust the RGB or CMYK combinations
specified
in the program through color management. In these situations, the printed color may not be an exact match
of the Color Samples pages.

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): 15
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 ultra‑low 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

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.
O mode
If this product has an o 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
Total energy usage
It is sometimes helpful to estimate 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.

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 that caused the damages. This limitation of liability will not apply to claims by you for bodily injury or
damage to real property or tangible personal property for which Lexmark is legally liable. IN NO EVENT WILL
LEXMARK BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, INCIDENTAL DAMAGE, OR OTHER
ECONOMIC OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This is true even if you advise Lexmark or a Remarketer of the
possibility of such damages. Lexmark is not liable for any claim by you based on a third party claim.
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
