The Lexmark X203n multifunction printer’ Eco mode makes it possible to conserve paper and energy through three options. First, you have the Energy Saving Mode. This means that the advanced paper start and the back light will be disabled. Another thing is that the scanner lamps will only be used when the a scan job needs to be done. Second is the Paper Saving mode where your print logs are disabled. Third and last option is called the Energy + Paper Saving mode. Obviously, the features mentioned before will be employed in this feature. This printer is also able to conserve paper by routing the scanned files to your network folders, LDSS, FTP. And email destinations.

Other than the Eco mode, the X203n also features a Power Saver. It lets the user minimise the power state of the printer after you are done with the printing. You can adjust settings from 1 to 240 minutes.
