Preserving print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridge and optimum performance from your printer:
•Keep a new 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 (see the following section). The print cartridge does not print correctly if removed from the printer and left exposed for an extended period of time.
Lexmark’s printer 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 cause damage to the printer. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
