Preserving the 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 st ore it in

an air-tight container. The print cartridge does not print correctly if removed from the printer and left exposed for an extended period of time.

• If a print cartridge runs out of ink, leave the empty cartridge in the printer until you are

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

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 printe r. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
