Setting up your All-In-One
Set up the All-In-One
Multiple methods of setup are possible with the All-In-One you have
purchased. The Setup sheet that came with your All-In-One provides basic
setup instructions. However, you can also connect your All-In-One with
equipment, such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer
modem.
Note: The X6100 Series All-In-One is an analog device that
works best when directly connected to the wall jack.
Other devices (such as a telephone or answering
machine) can be successfully attached to pass through
the All-In-One, as described in the setup steps. If you
want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL,
a third party device is required.

A network is a group of devices connected to each other for the purpose of
sharing information. You can purchase a network adapter from Lexmark
separately. Here is a quick look at what you can do if you are considering
using your All-In-One across a network:
• Print from multiple computers if your All-In-One is attached to a
computer.
• Copy using the control panel.
• Use the Print to fax feature. However, Fax Setup Utility functions are
not available. Fax setup must be done from the control panel.

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.
Clean the scanner glass
Clean the scanner glass when ink smudges, fingerprints, or dirt are
apparent.
To clean:
• Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with a non-abrasive cleaning
solvent.
• Gently wipe the scanner glass clean.
Note: Make sure all ink or corrective fluid on the document is
dry before placing the document on the scanner glass.
