Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you are ready to use them.

Do not expose supplies to:

•Direct sunlight

•Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)

•High humidity (above 80%)

•Salty air

•Corrosive gases

•Heavy dust

How to conserve supplies

Conserving supplies lowers printing costs.

•When printing drafts, conserve toner by changing the Toner Darkness setting in your printer driver. The settings range from 1 (very light) to 10 (very dark), with 8 being the default. Setting the Toner Darkness to 1 conserves the most toner.

•Reduce paper consumption by printing on both sides of the paper.

Additionally, the Lexmark 340n and 342n are compatible with various mobile printing solutions, such as Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, enabling users to print directly from their smartphones and tablets.

Another important feature is the user-friendly control panel, which includes a 2-line LCD display for easy navigation through settings and functions. Both models also have a standard paper capacity of 250 sheets, which can be expanded with optional trays, making them capable of handling larger print jobs without frequent paper replenishment.

Furthermore, they are designed with energy efficiency in mind. The models comply with Energy Star certification standards, minimizing power consumption during operation and standby modes.
