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 in the cartridge storage unit or other
air-tight container. The print cartridge will 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.
