Maintenance Procedures

For reliable printer performance when feeding card stock and labels, follow the appropriate maintenance procedures outlined in the following sections.

Optra plus, Optra, 4039 12C (with serial numbers after BC143), and 4039 10 plus printers

If the print quality begins to degrade when printing sheets of vinyl labels, we suggest you follow the three cleaning steps below:

1Print 5 sheets of paper.

2Wait approximately 5 seconds.

3Print 5 more sheets of paper.

To maintain printer feeding reliability, repeat this cleaning process every time you replace the print cartridge, more often with some media. Failure to follow maintenance procedures could cause jamming, poor print quality, feeding problems, and fuser problems.

If your laser printer has a fuser cleaner, we recommend that you change it when you replace the print cartridge. If you are printing on labels or card stock, you may need to change the fuser cleaner more frequently. Check the fuser cleaner every 2,000 pages, and replace it if it is crusty or stiff. Refer to your printer documentation for information about ordering additional fuser cleaners. Using a substitute cleaner may result in degraded print quality and may void your printer warranty.

Use a 4039 print cartridge (P/N 1380850 or 1380950) in Optra and Optra plus laser printers that are dedicated to printing labels. Machine engine code level 43.74 or later is required to use the 4039 cartridges in your Optra and Optra plus printer. Print the menus page from the Tests Menu to determine the level of engine code installed in your printer. Contact Lexmark customer support if you need assistance upgrading to a higher level.

Always use the fuser cleaner(s) that come(s) with these 4039 print cartridges. If you need additional fuser cleaners, order P/N 1380785. This particular fuser cleaner has oil in the pad to lubricate the fuser and prolong fuser life. It also lessens toner buildup on some labels, ensuring good print quality.

We recommend using the fuser cleaner shipped with Diamond Fine™ toner cartridges (P/N 1382100 or 1382150) when duplexing.

Note that 4039 print cartridges are not recommended for general use in Optra printers, since they cannot provide the 1200 dpi quality desirable for graphics and gray scaling. Using third party non-Lexmark cartridges and fuser cleaners can void the printer warranty. Using refilled non-Lexmark

This all-in-one functionality reduces the need for multiple machines, saving both space and maintenance costs. Additionally, many Lexmark models come equipped with intuitive touch-screen interfaces that simplify navigation and operation.

Another key characteristic is Lexmark's commitment to sustainability. Many of their printers are designed with energy-saving features, such as Sleep Mode and automatic duplex printing, which reduces paper usage.
