Caring for your print cartridges
Chapter Four
This chapter describes print cartridge maintenance procedures to help you get the best performance from your print cartridge and your printer.
Preserving print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridge and optimum performance from your printer:
•Keep a 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 store it in a print cartridge storage unit. The print cartridge will 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 one of the print cartridge carriers empty may cause printer problems.
•Do not refill print cartridges. Refilling empty print cartridges invalidates your warranty. Incompatible inks can cause damage to the printhead or to the printer. For best results, use Lexmark supplies with the printer.
