Maintenance
To prevent damage to your printer or its components, some supply items do not allow the printer to operate when the item is exhausted. When this occurs, you must install the appropriate new supplies before you can continue printing.
To order finisher supplies (staples), see the Finisher Manual.
Storing supplies
Store supplies in their original packaging until you are ready to install them.
Do not store supplies in:
•Temperatures greater than 43°C (110°F)
•An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature
•Direct sunlight
•Dusty places
•A car for a long period of time
•An environment where corrosive gases are present
•An environment with salty air
Recycling used supplies
Lexmark’s Operation ReSourceSM program lets you participate in a worldwide recycling effort at no cost to you.
Pack your old toner cartridge in the new toner cartridge shipping box. Follow the instructions in the box to send the old cartridge back to Lexmark.
You can also recycle some replacement hardware parts, such as the transfer belt and the fuser.
If a prepaid shipping label is not available for your country/region, contact the place where you bought your printer for additional recycling information.
Warning: Lexmark does not recommend refilling used toner cartridges or purchasing refilled cartridges from a third party. Print quality and printer reliability cannot be guaranteed if you do. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using refilled cartridges.
