Maintaining your printer

Printing beyond the basics
Preserving print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridge and optimum
performance from your printer:
• Keep a new print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to
install it.
• Do not remove a print cartridge from the printer except to replace,
clean, or store it in an air-tight container. The print cartridge will
not print correctly if removed from the printer and left exposed for
an extended period of time.
Lexmark’s printer warranty does not cover repair of failures or
damage caused by a refilled cartridge. Lexmark does not
recommend use of refilled cartridges. Refilling cartridges can affect
print quality and cause damage to the printer. For best results, use
Lexmark supplies.
