Aligning the print cartridges Cleaning the print nozzles Wiping print nozzles and contacts Preserving print cartridges

Using the Control Panel

The Control Panel includes two tabs: Cartridges and About.
Opening the Control Panel
Open the Apple menu. Choose Control Panels. Choose Lexmark Z42-Z43 Control Panel.
Select the About tab to find printer software version and copyright information.
Select Help to access the printer driver Help.
Select the Cartridges tab to maintain your print cartridges.
Installing or replacing print cartridges
Make sure the Power light is on.

Remove the old print cartridge. The Cartridge Setup dialog box displays on your screen.
Install the replacement cartridge in the printer:
a If you are installing a new cartridge, remove only the sticker and transparent tape from the bottom of the print cartridge.

b Insert the c Push back

Warning: Do NOT touch the gold contact area on the print cartridge!
replacement print cartridge into the print cartridge carrier.

These cyan, magenta, yellow, and black purge lines print when ink is forced through the nozzles to unclog them. If any of these colors are missing on your printed test page, your cartridge may be out of that color of ink.
Unbroken lines at the bottom of the page indicate the nozzles were cleaned.
Compare the diagonal lines above the printed bars to the diagonal lines below the printed bars. Look for a break in the diagonal lines. A broken line indicates clogged nozzles. If the bottom line still has breaks, run the test two more times. If the print quality is satisfactory, the print nozzles are clean. You do not need to complete the remaining steps.
If the print quality of both sets of lines is not satisfactory, continue with the next step. 5 Remove and reinstall the print cartridge. 6 Repeat the nozzle test. 7 If the lines are still broken, see the next section, Wiping print nozzles and contacts.
Wiping print nozzles and contacts
If print quality does not improve after cleaning the print nozzles (see page 39), there may be dried ink on the nozzles or contacts.
Remove the print cartridges from the printer (see page 32). Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with water. Gently wipe the nozzles and contacts in one direction.

Nozzles Contacts

Warning: Do NOT wipe the nozzles and contacts with the same section of cloth.
a Hold the damp cloth against the nozzles for about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry. 3
b Use another clean section of cloth to gently
wipe the contacts. Hold the damp, lint-free cloth against the contacts for about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry.
Reinstall the print cartridges and repeat the nozzle test. For help, see page 39. If the print quality has not improved after this cleaning process, replace your print cartridge. If print quality still does not improve, your printer may require service.
Preserving print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridges and optimum performance from your printer: Keep a new print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to install it. Do not remove a print cartridge from the printer except to replace, clean, or store it in an air-tight container. The print cartridge does not print correctly if removed from the printer and left exposed for an extended period of time. If a print cartridge runs out of ink, leave the empty cartridge in the printer until you are ready to replace it. Printing with only one print cartridge installed may cause printer problems. Lexmarks printer warranty does not cover repair of failures or damage caused by a refilled cartridge. Lexmark does not recommend use of refilled cartridges. Refilling cartridges can affect print quality and cause damage to the printer. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
This section lists printer problems that can occur and what you can do to solve them. From the list of printing problems below, select a category that describes your printing problem. Then search for the solution to your problem. General printing problems Printer prints slowly or doesnt print

Disconnect your printer from any hubs or peripherals, such as scanners or fax machines, and connect the printer directly to your computer.

Paper misfeeds or jams

Paper misfeeds or multiple sheets feed through the printer
Make sure: The printer is on a flat, level surface. The paper is recommended for inkjet printers. You do not force the paper down into the printer when you load it. For example, if you are loading letter or A4 size paper, the top edge of the paper should extend above the top of the sheet feeder. You do not load too much paper in the sheet feeder. Depending on the thickness of your paper, the sheet feeder can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. The paper guide is against the left side of the paper and it does not cause the paper to bow in the sheet feeder.
Printer does not feed envelopes or specialty papers
Make sure your printer will feed regular paper. For help loading paper, see page 4. If regular paper feeds without problems, load the envelopes vertically against the right side of the sheet feeder. Make sure the paper guide is against the side of the envelopes. Make sure envelope or the appropriate specialty paper is selected in the Page Setup dialog box or the Print dialog box. Make sure you are using a paper or envelope size supported by your printer. Your application may not be designed to print envelopes. For help, check your applications documentation.

Steps to basic printing

This book describes how to use your printer with Windows 95 and Windows 98. If you are using your printer with Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000, refer to the Users Guide button on the printer software CD for Windows. Basic printing is as easy as: 3 Load the paper (see page 2). Customize the printer settings (see page 5). Print your document (see page 8).

Step 1: Load the paper

You can load up to 100 sheets of paper (depending on thickness). 1 Place the paper against the right side of the sheet feeder, with the print side facing you.
