Aligning the print cartridges 
Typically, you only align print cartridges after installing or replacing a cartridge. However, you may 
also need to align cartridges when:
Characters are not properly formed or are not aligned at the left margin. 
Vertical, straight lines are wavy.
To align the cartridges:
1Load plain paper. 
2Open the Lexmark Solution Center. For help, see page 11.
3From the Maintenance tab, click Align to fix the blurry edges.
4Click Print.
The Alignment page prints.
If you have to manually align the cartridges, you must select the best alignment values from 
the printed page.
aFind the number under the darkest arrow for each alignment group.
bUse the arrows in the Align Cartridges dialog box to select the number that matches the 
darkest arrow on the printed page for each alignment group.
cClick OK. 
If the alignment page does not print, make sure you have completely removed the sticker 
and transparent tape from both cartridges. For help, see page 45.
Improving print quality
If you are not satisfied with the print quality of your document, make sure you:
Use the appropriate paper for the document. For example, use photo paper if you are printing 
a photo.

Select a higher print quality:
1From your software program, click File  Print.
The Print dialog box appears.
2From the Print dialog box, click Properties, Preferences, or Options.

Preserving the print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridges and optimum performance from your printer:
Keep a new cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to install it.
Keep your photo cartridge in the print cartridge storage unit when not in use. A print cartridge 
storage unit is included with new photo print cartridges.
Do not remove a print cartridge from the printer except to replace, clean, or store it in an 
airtight container. The print cartridges do not print correctly if left exposed for an extended 
period.
Lexmark’s printer warranty does not cover repair of failures or damage caused by a refilled cartridge. 
We do not recommend use of refilled cartridges. Refilling cartridges can affect print quality and 
cause damage to the printer. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
