Learning about your All-In-One  
You can use the Lexmark X5100 Series to do a variety of things. A couple  
of important things to note:  
You do not need to attach your All-In-One to a computer to make  
copies.  
You do need to attach your All-In-One to a computer to send faxes.  
Note: The computer must have an internal modem or be  
connected to an external one and the modem must be  
connected to a phone line.  
If your All-In-One is attached to a computer, you can use the  
operator panel or the All-In-One software to create your projects.  
Setting up your All-In-One  
Follow the instructions on your All-In-One setup documentation to install  
the hardware and software. For setup troubleshooting, see page 46.

Preserving the print cartridges  
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridges and optimum  
performance from your All-In-One:  
Keep a new print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to  
install it.  
Do not remove a print cartridge from the All-In-One except to  
replace, clean, or store it in an airtight container. The print  
cartridges will not print correctly if left exposed for an extended  
period of time because the ink will dry out.  
Lexmark’s All-In-One 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 All-In-One. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
