Wiping print nozzles and contacts

If print quality does not improve after cleaning the print nozzles
(see page 11), you may need to wipe dried ink from the nozzles.
For help on wiping the print nozzles, see the "Troubleshooting:
Print Quality " section of the printer driver Help. For help acessing
the printer driver Help, see page 4.

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 an air-tight container. 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.
Compaq'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 Compaq recommended supplies.
