Maintaining your printer | Lexmark 630 instruction

4 Maintenance

The following sections deal with topics for a network administrator in charge of the printer.

Maintaining your 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.

Determining the status of supplies

The printer uses the second line of the display to alert you to any supply or maintenance items that need replacing. However, the printer can only display information about one item at a time.

If you want to determine the status of consumables installed in your printer, you can print the menu settings page from the Utilities Menu. (Press Menu until you see Utilities Menu, and then press Select. Press Menu until you see Print Menus, and then press Select to print the menu settings page.) One or two pages print depending on the number of menu settings you have. Look for “Cartridge Information” on the page; the percentage of life remaining for each of the items is indicated.
