76 8 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 should be replaced 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.

77What supplies do I need and how do I order them? 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 Conserving 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.Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
78Knowing when you need new supplies Knowing when you need new supplies The following sections describe ways to determine when new supplies are needed. Checking the toner and photoconductor levels You can determine approximately how much toner is left in your toner cartridge and how full the photoconductor is by printing a menu settings page. This helps you decide when you might need to order replacement supplies. For help printing a menu settings page, see Printing the menu settings and network setup pages on page74. The Toner low light sequence (see page16) is displayed when the toner cartridge is nearly empty. You can still print for a short time while this sequence is displayed, but print quality begins to decrease as the toner level decreases. Note:The Toner low light sequence does not appear if the 1500-page starter toner cartridge is installed. When the toner light sequence appears, or when you experience faded print, remove the toner cartridge. Firmly shake it side to side and front to back several times to redistribute the toner, and reinsert it. Repeat this procedure multiple times. If the print remains faded, replace the toner cartridge. To ensure print quality and to avoid damage to the printer, the printer stops operating after the photoconductor has reached a maximum of 110% of its life. (See Replace photoconductor (printer hard stop) on page9 for the light sequence associated with this stop.) The printer automatically notifies you before the photoconductor reaches this point. When you first receive the “Replace photoconductor kit” light sequence, you should immediately order a new photoconductor kit. While the printer may continue to function properly after the photoconductor kit has reached its official end-of-life (approximately 30,000 pages), print quality begins to significantly decrease until the photoconductor stops operating at the maximum of 110% of its life. Once the photoconductor kit has been replaced, and the counter has been reset, normal printer operation resumes. For more information, see the instruction sheet that came with your photoconductor kit. Ordering a maintenance kit Scheduled maintenance is required after 120,000 pages have been printed. To know when to order a maintenance kit, print your printer menu settings pages. See Printing the menu settings and network setup pages on page74. If Maintenance is listed under the Warnings heading, it is time to order a new maintenance kit. The maintenance kit contains all the items necessary to replace the pick rollers, the fuser, and the transfer roller. Note:The maintenance kit may not be available in all geographies. See the following table for the maintenance kit part number for your specific printer. Machine voltagePart numbers 110 V40X2847 220 V40X2848 100 V40X2849Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
79Knowing when you need new supplies Recognizing the control panel light sequences The control panel displays certain light sequences to let you know when the toner level is low or when it’s time to replace the photoconductor kit. Note:The control panel may also display other light sequences in conjunction with the “Toner low” and “Replace photoconductor” lights.Printer ConditionPageContinueErrorToner Low / Replace PC KitLoad PaperPaper JamReadyToner low16Photoconductor kit life warning17Replace photoconductor (printer hard stop)*18* If the control panel lights display this sequence, the printer will not print any more jobs until the photoconductor kit is replaced.= On= Blinking= Slow blinkEmpty = OffDownloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
