Determining The Status Of Supplies; Conserving Supplies - Lexmark T640 User Manual

Determining the status of supplies

The printer operator panel alerts you once a supply item or maintenance is required. You can also view the status of
supplies in the printer on the operator panel unless the printer is printing or in a busy state. The header or gray area at the
top of the display will indicate the printer is Ready and lets you know if any trays are low. Selecting Status / Supplies on
the display will open the Status / Supplies screen where you can view the status of the various trays and open the View
Supplies screen to view the current status of your print cartridge.
