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 e xcept to replace, clean, or store it in

an air-tight container. The print cartridge does not print correctly if removed fr o m th e printer and left exposed for an extended period of time.

• If a print cartridge runs out of ink, lea ve the empty cartridge in the printer until y ou ar e

ready to replace it. Printing with only one of the print cartridges in the printer may cause printer problems.

Lexmark’s printer warranty does not cover repa ir of failures or damage caused by a refilled cartridge. Lexmark does not recommend use of refilled cartridges. Refilling cartridges can affect print qualit y and cause damage to the printer. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
