Statement of Volatility

Type of memory Description

Volatile memory The printer uses standard random access memory (RAM)

to buer temporarily user data during simple print and

copy jobs.

Non-volatile memory The printer may use two forms of non-volatile memory:

EEPROM and NAND (ﬂash memory). Both types are used

to store the operating system, printer settings, network

information, scanner and bookmark settings, and

embedded solutions.

Hard disk memory Some printers may have a hard disk drive installed. The

printer hard disk is designed for printer-speciﬁc

functionality. The hard disk lets the printer retain buered

user data from complex print jobs, form data, and font

data.

Erase the content of any installed printer memory in the following circumstances:

•The printer is decommissioned.

•The printer hard disk is replaced.

•The printer is moved to a dierent department or location.

•The printer is serviced by someone from outside your organization.

•The printer is removed from your premises for service.

•The printer is sold to another organization.

Disposing of a printer hard disk

•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: To guarantee that all data are completely erased, destroy physically each hard disk where data is

stored.

Notices 129

Mode Description Power consumption (Watts)

Sleep Mode The product is in a high‑level energy‑saving mode. 1.8 (MS321, B2338), 1.9 (MS421, M1242,

B2442)

Hibernate The product is in a low‑level energy‑saving mode. 0.1

O The product is plugged into an electrical outlet, but the

power switch is turned o.

0.1

The power consumption levels listed in the previous table represent time-averaged measurements.

Instantaneous power draws may be substantially higher than the average.

Values are subject to change. See www.lexmark.com for current values.

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

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.

Modular component notice

This product may contain the following modular component(s):

Lexmark Regulatory Type/LEX-M01-005; FCC ID: IYLLEXM01005; Industry Canada IC: 2376A-M01005

Exposure to radio frequency radiation

The radiated output power of this device is far below the radio frequency exposure limits of the FCC and other

regulatory agencies. A minimum separation of 20 cm (8 inches) must be maintained between the antenna and

any persons for this device to satisfy the RF exposure requirements of the FCC and other regulatory agencies.

Industry Canada (Canada)

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and

maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio

interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically

radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standards. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,

including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service and to reduce the potential for harmful interference to co-

channel mobile satellite systems, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to

provide maximum shielding.

High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e., priority users) of the bands 5250–5350MHz and 5650–

5850MHz. These radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.

Industrie Canada (Canada)

Selon la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, l'émetteur radio ne fonctionne qu'avec une antenne dont le type

et le gain maximal (ou inférieur) ont été approuvés par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire les interférences radio

potentielles auprès d'autres utilisateurs, le type d'antenne et son gain doivent être choisis de telle sorte que la

puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (PIRE) ne soit pas supérieure à ce qui est nécessaire pour assurer la

réussite de la communication.

Cet appareil est conforme aux normes RSS exemptes de licence d'Industrie Canada. Son fonctionnement est

soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) cet appareil ne doit pas causer d'interférences et (2) il doit accepter

toutes les interférences, y compris les celles qui peuvent entraîner un fonctionnement indésirable.

Aﬁn de prévenir les interférences radio des services sous licence et pour réduire le risque d'interférences

nuisibles aux systèmes de satellites mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux, cet appareil est destiné à être utilisé

à l’intérieur et loin des fenêtres aﬁn de fournir une protection maximale.

Notices 131

Les radars à haute puissance sont déﬁnis comme les utilisateurs principaux (p. ex., utilisateurs prioritaires) dans

les bandes de 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz. Ces radars peuvent causer des interférences ou des

dommages aux appareils RELOC-EL.
