Photo Smudges; Checking The Print Cartridges; Ink Levels Seem Incorrect - Lexmark X5470 User Manual

Photo smudges

To prevent smudging, avoid touching the surface of a printed photo. For best results, remove each printed sheet
individually from the paper exit tray, and allow the prints to dry at least 24 hours before stacking, displaying, or
storing.

RE YOU PRINTING GRAPHICS OR PHOTOS
When you print documents with a large number of graphics, or with the Photo Quality/Speed setting, the printer
uses more ink. The type of documents you print and the print quality you select affect the amount of ink the printer
uses.
A
RE YOU PRINTING A LARGE FILE
The ink levels displayed in the printer software are not updated during a print job; they represent the ink level at
the beginning of a print job. The ink levels may seem inconsistent in the Printing Status window when you are
