Supplies information

What supplies do I need and how do I order them?

There are only two supply items that have to be replaced on a regular basis: the toner cartridge and the photoconductor kit,
which together comprise the print cartridge assembly. The photoconductor kit typically lasts up to 30,000 pages (at
approximately 5% coverage), whereas the toner cartridge has to be replaced more frequently. How often the toner cartridge
needs replacing depends on which cartridge you purchase and the average amount of toner coverage you have on your
print jobs.
Within the United States or Canada, you can order Lexmark supplies from any authorized Lexmark supplies dealer. To
locate the dealer nearest you, call 1-800-539-6275. In other countries or regions, visit the Lexmark online store at
www.lexmark.com, or contact the place where you bought your printer.

Storing supplies

Choose a cool, clean storage area for your printer supplies. Store supplies right side up in their original packaging until you
are ready to use them.
Do not expose supplies to:
• Direct sunlight
• Temperatures above 35°C (95°F)
• High humidity (above 80%)
• Salty air
• Corrosive gases
• Heavy dust

How to conserve supplies

Conserving supplies lowers printing costs.
• When printing drafts, conserve toner by changing the Toner Darkness setting in your printer driver. The settings
range from 1 (very light) to 10 (very dark), with 8 being the default. Setting the Toner Darkness to 1 conserves the
most toner.
• Reduce paper consumption by printing on both sides of the paper.
