Maintaining the printer
Periodically, certain tasks are required to maintain optimum print quality.
Storing supplies
Choose a cool, clean storage area for the printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packing until you
are ready to use them.
Do not expose supplies to:
•Direct sunlight
•Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)
•High humidity above 80%
•Salty air
•Corrosive gases
•Heavy dust
Cleaning the printer
If print quality problems such as streaking occur, follow these cleaning procedures.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not put water directly on the printer or use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile
solvents, such as paint thinner, on the printer.
Cleaning the exterior of the printer
1Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from the wall outlet.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: To avoid the risk of electric shock, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
and disconnect all cables to the printer before proceeding.
2Remove paper from the standard exit bin.
3Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water.
Warning—Potential Damage: Do not use household cleaners or detergents, as they may damage the finish of the
printer.
4Wipe only the outside of the printer, making sure to remove any ink residue that has accumulated on the standard
exit bin.
Warning—Potential Damage: Using a damp cloth to clean the interior may cause damage to your printer.
5Make sure the standard exit bin is dry before beginning a new print job.

Cleaning the scanner glass
Clean the scanner glass if you encounter print quality problems, such as streaks on copied or scanned images.
1Slightly dampen a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
2Open the scanner cover.
3Wipe the scanner glass (which includes the document glass and ADF glass) until it is clean and dry.
4Wipe the white underside of the scanner cover and the white plastic input guides until they are clean and dry.
Note: The white plastic input guides are located on the scanner cover underneath the ADF on the left side.
5Close the scanner cover.
Ordering supplies
To order supplies 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 purchased the printer.
Note: All life estimates for printer supplies assume printing on letter- or A4-size plain paper.
Ordering print cartridges
When Replace <color> Print Cartridge Soon appears, order the specified new print cartridge. The
specified print cartridge will soon be exhausted. The specified print cartridge can print approximately 100–125 pages,
depending on the coverage of the toner color, after the message first appears.
When Replace <color> Print Cartridge Soon appears or when the print becomes faded, you may be
able to extend the life of the print cartridge:
1Remove the specified print cartridge.
2Firmly shake the cartridge side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute toner.
