Specifying cartridge settings in the printer software

Before you specify the print cartridge settings in the printer software, install the cartridges. For help, see “Installing the cartridges” on page 39.

1Open the Lexmark Solution Center (see page 19).

2From the Maintenance tab, click Install a new print cartridge.

3Select the type of cartridge you installed.

Note: Specify whether the cartridge is a new cartridge or an old cartridge (one that has been used before). If an old cartridge is incorrectly identified as new cartridge in the Lexmark Solution Center, ink levels may be incorrect.

4Click OK or Next.

5If you installed a new cartridge, continue with “Aligning the print cartridges.”

Aligning the print cartridges

To align the print cartridges:

1Load plain paper (see page 8).

2Open the Lexmark Solution Center (see page 19).

3From the Maintenance tab, click Align to fix blurry edges.

4Click Print.

An alignment page prints automatically, aligning your print cartridges.
