For information, see page 72.

Preserve the print cartridges

To ensure the longest life from your print cartridges and optimum
performance from your All-In-One:

• Keep a new print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to

install it.

• Do not remove a print cartridge from the All-In-One except to

replace, clean, or store it in an airtight container. The print
cartridges do not print correctly if left exposed for an extended
period because the ink dries.

Lexmark’s warranty does not cover repair of failures or damage caused by
a refilled cartridge. We do not recommend use of refilled cartridges.
Refilling cartridges can affect print quality and cause damage to the
All-In-One. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.

compliance inform ation
statement

This equipment complies
with Part 68 of the FCC rules
and the requirements
adopted by the America’s
Carriers Telecommunication
Association (ACTA). On the
back of this equipment is a
label that contains, among
other information, a product
identifier in the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must
be provided to your
telephone company.

This equipment uses the
RJ-11C Universal Service
Order Code (USOC) jack.

A plug and jack used to
connect this equipment to
the premises’ wiring and
telephone network must
comply with the applicable
FCC Part 68 rules and
requirements adopted by the
ACT A. A compliant telephone
cord and modular plug is
provided with this product. It
is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jack
that is also compliant. See
page 3 for more information.

The Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) is used to
determine the number of
devices that may be
connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in
the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call.
In most but not all areas, the
sum of RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of
devices that may be

connected to a line, as
determined by the total
RENs, contact your local
telephone company. For
products approved after July
23, 2001, the REN for this
product is part of the product
identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The
digits represented by ## are
the REN without a decimal
point (e.g., 03 is a REN of

0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on
the label.

If this equipment causes
harm to the telephone
network, the telephone
company will notify you in
advance that temporary
discontinuance of service
may be required. If advance
notice is not practical, the
Telephone Company will
notify the customer as soon
as possible. You will also be
advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.

The telephone company may
make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or
procedures that could affect
the operation of this
equipment. If this happens
the telephone company will
provide advance notice in
order for you to make
necessary modifications to
maintain uninterrupted
service.

If trouble is experienced with
this equipment, for repair or
warranty information, please
contact Lexmark

Using the X6100 Series
All-In-One in Germany

The X6100 Series All-In-One
requires a German billing
tone filter (Lexmark part
number 14B5123) to be
installed on any line which
receives metering pulses in
Germany. Metering pulses
may or may not be present
on analog lines in Germany.
The subscriber may request
that metering pulses be
placed on the line, or can
have them removed by
calling the German network
provider. Normally, meter ing
pulses are not provided
unless specifically requested
by the subscriber at the time
of installation.

Using the X6100 Series
All-In-One in
Switzerland

The X6100 Series All-In-One
requires a Swiss billing tone
filter (Lexmark part number
14B5109) to be installed on
any line which receives
metering pulses in
Switzerland. The Lexmark
filter must be used, as
metering pulses are present
on all analog telephone lines
in Switzerland.

The Lexmark X6100 Series
has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this
device must accept any
interference received,
including interference that

may cause undesired
operation.

The FCC Class B limits are
designed to provide
reasonable protection
against harmful interference
in a residential installation.
This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in
accordance with the
instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio
communications. However,
there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which
can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by
one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation
between the equipment
and receiver.

• Connect the equipment
into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to
which the receiver is
connected.

• Consult your point of
purchase or service
representative for
additional suggestions.

The manufacturer is not
responsible for any radio or
television interference
caused by using other than
recommended cables or by
unauthorized changes or
modifications to this
equipment. Unauthorized
changes or modifications
could void the user's
authority to operate this
equipment.

Note:To assure
compliance with FCC
regulations on
electromagnetic
interference for a Class B

90

computing device, use a
properly shielded and
grounded cable such as
Lexmark part number
1329605 for parallel attach
or 12A2405 for USB
attach. Use of a substitute
cable not properly shielded
and grounded may result in
a violation of FCC
