Conserving supplies
Several settings in your application software or on the display let you conserve toner and paper. For more information on
changing these settings, see the Menus and Messages Guide.
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 bought your printer.
Note: All life estimates for printer supplies assume printing on letter or A4 size plain paper.
Print cartridges
The initial print cartridges that shipped with your printer will only operate in the printer those cartridges were shipped with.
Attempting to use these initial print cartridges in any other printer, even if it is the same model, may result in a cartridge
incompatibility failure message.
When the 88.yy <color> cartridge low message appears or when you experience faded print, remove the print
cartridge. Firmly shake it side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute the toner, then reinsert it and continue
printing. Repeat this procedure multiple times until the print remains faded. When the print remains faded replace the print
cartridge. Have a new cartridge available when the current one no longer prints satisfactorily.
