how to install Lexmark Black Imaging Unit

• Step 1: Prepare your printer

  Power down the printer, unplug from the power source, and allow the device to cool before handling. This helps prevent any accidental contact with hot surfaces and ensures safe replacement.

• Step 2: Access the imaging unit

  Open the printer’s access panel or front cover according to the user manual. Locate the imaging unit chamber, which is typically near the toner cartridge area.

• Step 3: Remove the old unit

  Carefully release any latches or brackets and slide the old imaging unit out of the printer. Handle used components gently to avoid toner dispersion and to minimize any risk of damage to internal components.

• Step 4: Install the new imaging unit

  Unpack the Lexmark Black Imaging Unit and align it with the guides inside the printer. Slide it firmly into place until it is fully seated and the latch clicks. Ensure the unit is firmly seated to prevent misfeeds or alignment issues.

• Step 5: Close the printer and reset

  Close the access panel, reconnect power, and turn the printer back on. If prompted by the printer, follow on-screen instructions to recognize or reset the imaging unit, and allow the printer to complete any automatic calibration tasks.

• Step 6: Run a test print

  Print a few pages to verify density, alignment, and readability. If necessary, perform a light calibration page or adjust print settings per your printer’s guidance to achieve optimal results.
