5 Maintaining the printer

Periodically, you need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality. These tasks are covered in this chapter.

If several people are using the printer, you may want to designate a key operator to do the setup and maintenance of your printer. Refer printing problems and maintenance tasks to this key operator.

In the U.S., contact Lexmark at 1-800-539-6275 for information about Lexmark Authorized Supplies Dealers in your area. In other countries or regions, visit the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com, or contact the place where you bought your printer.
