Preserving 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.

•Keep your photo cartridge in the print cartridge storage unit when not in use. A print cartridge storage unit is included with new photo print cartridges. Use the print cartridge storage unit to store your black cartridge when you are using the photo cartridge.

•Do not remove a print cartridge from the All-In-One except to replace, clean, or store it in an airtight container, such as the print cartridge storage unit. The print cartridges will not print correctly if left exposed for an extended period of time because the ink will dry out.

Note: Use the cartridge storage unit that was packaged with your photo cartridge to store cartridges for future use.

Lexmark’s All-In-One 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 may cause damage to the All-In-One. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
