Caring for your
print cartridges
Chapter Four
This chapter describes print cartridge maintenance
procedures to help you get the best performance from
your print cartridge and your printer.
Preserving print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridge and
optimum performance from your printer:
•
Keep a 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 a print
cartridge storage unit. The print cartridge will not
print correctly if removed from the printer and left
exposed for an extended period of time.
•
•
If a print cartridge runs out of ink, leave the empty
cartridge in the printer until you are ready to
replace it. Printing with one of the print cartridge
carriers empty may cause printer problems.
Do not refill print cartridges. Refilling empty print
cartridges invalidates your warranty. Incompatible
inks can cause damage to the printhead or to the
printer. For best results, use Lexmark supplies with
the printer.

Installing or replacing print
cartridges
The following procedures are for installing or replacing a
print cartridge when your printer is connected to a
computer. If you are using your printer without a
computer, you can install or replace print cartridges
through the operator panel. For help, see the Getting
Started booklet that tells you how to use your printer
without a computer.
Perform the entire print cartridge replacement procedure
without interruption.
If you are interrupted and leave the print cartridge carrier
in the load position for more than three minutes, the
carrier returns to the far right position. The Cartridges
Tab remains displayed on your screen.
• If you have not inserted the new cartridge, click
Cancel and begin the installation process again.
• If you have inserted the new cartridge, click New
Cartridge Installed.
Removing a print cartridge
If you need to remove a print cartridge before you install
a different one, follow these steps:
1 Open the printer front cover.
2 From the printer’s Control Program, click the
Cartridges Tab.
For help opening the Control Program, see
“Opening the Control Program” on page 8.
3 Click Install Color Cartridge, Install Black
Cartridge, or Install Photo Cartridge.
The print cartridge carrier moves to the load
position and the Change Cartridge dialog box
appears on your computer screen.

Aligning the print cartridges
Use the printer software to align the print cartridges
when:
•
•
You install the printer software on your computer.
You re-connect the printer to your computer - even
if you have aligned them from the operator panel.
•
You are using optional Black and Color print
cartridges, and the black portions of a graphic or
text do not align properly with the color portions.
Below are examples of aligned and misaligned print
cartridges:

The Align Cartridge dialog box appears on your
screen. Depending on the cartridge combination
you have installed in your printer, a test page with
one or more alignment patterns is printed. Each
pattern has a number under it.

3 From each alignment group on the test page, locate
the number under the alignment pattern that comes
closest to forming a perfectly straight line.
For example, in sample group A above, pattern 5
comes closest to forming a straight line.
4 In the Align Cartridges dialog box, enter the
numbers from the printed test page (that you chose
in step 3) as the appropriate alignment settings.
5 After you have entered a number for all of the
patterns, click OK.
6 Repeat steps 2-5 until the patterns print to your
satisfaction.

Cleaning the print nozzles
The print cartridge nozzle test helps you pinpoint any
clogged nozzles. The nozzle test also cleans the print
cartridge by cleaning (purging) the nozzles. A test line
prints so you can see if the cleaning process was
successful.
Use the nozzle test:
•
•
When you suspect the nozzles are clogged
When characters are not printing completely
To run the nozzle test:
1 Make sure there is paper in the automatic feeder.
2 From the printer’s Control Program, click the
Cartridges Tab.
For help opening the Control Program, see
“Opening the Control Program” on page 8.
3 Click the Clean Print Nozzles button.
The printer feeds a sheet of paper and prints a
nozzle test pattern, similar to the one shown below.
4 Examine the test pattern.
The example above shows a test pattern of all
nozzles functioning correctly.

Bidirectional communications
problems
These events indicate bidirectional communications
problems:
• A message displays on your computer screen
indicating your printer cannot establish
bidirectional communications with your computer.
• Print cartridge ink level indicators on the Status or
Cartridges Tabs of the printer's Control Program
are grayed out.
• Job progress information and printer paper feeding
error messages (such as Paper Out) do not display
on your computer screen.
Before proceeding, verify:
• The printer is able to send and receive data:
a Unplug the printer power cord from the
electrical outlet.
b Make sure the parallel cable is securely
attached to both the computer and the
printer.
c Plug the printer power cord into a properly
grounded electrical outlet.
• If you have a switch box or other device connected
to the computer's parallel port, make sure it
supports bidirectional communication. You may
need to disconnect your printer from the switch
box or other device and connect the printer directly
to your computer.

Bidirectional communications is NOT disabled in

b Make sure Disable Bidirectional Communi-
cations is not checked.
If you checked all of the items above, and still experience
bidirectional communications problems, continue with
“Solving bidirectional communications problems”.
Solving bidirectional communications
problems
Bidirectional communications problems have two
primary causes:
•
•
You are using the wrong parallel cable.
Your computer system is not configured for
bidirectional communications.
Replacing the parallel cable
You must use an IEEE 1284-compliant parallel cable that
supports bidirectional printing. Verify your printer cable
meets these specifications. To purchase a Lexmark cable,
see “Parallel cable” on page 65.
Computer configuration problems
If you have the correct parallel cable and bidirectional
communications problems persist, you may have a
computer configuration problem. The three configuration
problems usually preventing or disrupting bidirectional
communications are:
•
Your computer does not support bidirectional
communications.
Troubleshooting
45
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• The parallel port on your computer is not
configured for bidirectional communications.
• The IRQ (Interrupt Request) assigned to your
printer is also assigned to another hardware device,
such as a scanner or sound card. This situation is
commonly called a "hardware configuration
conflict."
Contact your computer manufacturer, or see the
documentation that came with your computer to
determine if your computer supports bidirectional
communications.
With bidirectional communications problems you can
use your printer, but the printer software will not function
to its fullest capability. You can change printer settings,
send print jobs to the printer, and change and align print
cartridges. However, printer status and ink level
information will not display on your computer screen.
On most computer systems, the parallel port
configuration and IRQ assignments are changed from the
computer's Configuration or Setup Utility. Check the
documentation that came with your computer for
information on the Configuration or Setup Utility.
Warning! If you are not familiar with configuring
parallel ports or changing IRQ assignments, do not
change these settings in the Setup or Configuration
Utility. Contact your computer manufacturer or an
experienced computer professional for assistance.
Incorrect changes to your computer's configuration can
cause serious problems.
Disabling bidirectional
communications
If you cannot solve the bidirectional communication
problem immediately, you can disable bidirectional
communications. This does not solve the bidirectional
communications problem but allows you to print jobs
without an error message appearing.

Poor print quality at
left, right, or bottom
edge of page
Like other printers, your printer cannot print in the
extreme left, right, or bottom edges of a page. To
avoid poor print quality at the edges of the page,
we recommend using these minimum margin
settings:
Left and Right Margins
Left and right margin settings must be at least 6.35
mm (0.25 in.) each for all paper sizes except A4.
For A4 size paper, left and right margin settings
must be at least 3.37 mm (0.133 in.) each.
Top and Bottom Margins
The top margin must be set to at least 1.7 mm
(0.067 in.).
The bottom margin setting for all paper sizes must
be 12.7 mm (0.5 in.) for monochrome printing and
19.5 mm (0.75 in.) for color printing.
