Setting up y our All-In-One
Set up the All-In-One
Multiple methods of setup are possible with the All-In-One you have
purchased. The Setup s hee t that came with y our All-In-One provides basic
setup instructions. However, you can also connect your All-In-One with
equipment, such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer

works best when directly connected to the wall jack.
Other devices (such as a telephone or answering

the All-In-One, as described in the setup steps. If you
want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL,
a third party device is required.

Preserve the print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridges and optimum
performance from your All-In-One:
•Keep a new print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to
install it.
•Do not remove a print cartridge from the All-In-One 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 because the ink dries.
Lexmark’s 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
All-In-One. For best results, use Lexmark supplies.
Clean the scanner glass
Clean the scanner glass when ink smudges, fingerprints, or dirt are
apparent.
To clean:
•Dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with a non-abrasive cleaning
solvent.
•Gently wipe the scanner glass clean.
Note: Make sure all ink or corrective fluid on the document is
dry before placing the document on the scanner glass.

Symptom: Problem: Solution:

Using an unsuppor ted line
The fax modem in your AIO is an analog device and cannot be used on an
ISDN, DSL, or PBX digital phone service. However, you can connect
certain devices to your AIO that let you use the fax function in addition to
these digital phone services.
To connect without an unsupported line:
Connect an active telephone cable from the AIO to the telephone wall jack.
To connect with an unsupported li ne:
•If you use an ISDN phone service, you can connect to an analog
telephone port (an R-interface port) on an ISDN terminal adapter.
For more help and to request an R-interface port, contact the ISDN
provider.
•If you use a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) phone service, you can
connect to a DSL filter or router that will allow for some analog
(rather than digital) use.
•If you use a PBX phone service, you can install an analog phone
line for a fax machine.

Federal
Communications
Commission (FCC)
compliance information
statement
This equipment complies
with P art 68 of the FCC rules
and the requirements
adopted by the America’s
Carriers Telecommunication
Association (ACTA). On the
back of th is equipmen t is a
label that contains, among
other information, a product
identifier in the f o rmat
US:A AAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must
be provided to your
telephone company.
This equipment uses the
RJ-11C Universal Service
Order Code (USOC) jack.
A plug and jack used to
connect this equipment to
the premises’ wiring and
telephone network must
comply with the applicable
FCC Part 68 r ules and
requirements adopted by the
ACT A. A compliant telephone
cord and modular plug is
provided with this product. It
is designed to be connected
to a compatible modular jac k
that is also compliant. See
page 3 for more information.
The Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) is used to
determine the number of
devices that ma y be
connected to a telephone
line. Excessive RENs on a
telephone line may result in
the devices not ringing in
response to an incoming call.
In most but not all areas, the
sum of RENs should not
exceed five (5.0). To be
certain of the number of
devices that ma y be
connected to a line, as
determined by the total
RENs, contact your lo cal
telephone company. For
products approved after July
23, 2001, the REN for this
product is part of the product
identifier that has t he format
US:AAAEQ ##T XX XX. The
digits represented by ## are
the REN without a decimal
point (e.g., 03 is a REN of
0.3). For earlier products, the
REN is separately shown on
the label.
If this equipment causes
harm to the telephone
network, the telephone
company will notify you in
adv ance that temporary
discontinuance of service
may be required. I f advance
notice is not practical, the
Telephone Com pany will
notify the customer as soon
as possibl e. You will also be
advised of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
The telephone company may
make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operations or
procedures that could affe ct
the operation of this
equipment. If this happens
the telephone company will
provide advance notice in
order for you to make
necessar y modif ications to
maintain uninterrupted
service.
If troub le is experienced with
this equipment, for repair or
warr anty information, please
contact Lexmark
International, Inc. at
www.lexmark.com. If the
equipment is causing harm
to the telephone network, the
telephone company may
request that you disconnect
the equipment until the
problem is resolved.

questions about what will
disable alarm equipment,
consult your telephone
company or a qualified
installer.
Telephone companies report
that electrical surges,
typically lightning transients,
are very destructive to
customer terminal
equipment connected to AC
power sources. This has
been identified as a major
nationwide problem. It is
recommended that the
customer install an AC surge
arrestor in the AC out let to
which this device is
connected. This is to avoid
damage to the equipment
caused by local light ning
strikes and other electrical
surges.
The Telephone Consumer
Protection Act of 1991 makes
it unlawful for any person to
use a computer or other
electronic device, including
108
FAX machines, to send any
message unless said
message clearly contains in
a margin at the top or bottom
of each transmitted page or
on the first page of the
transmission, the date and
time it is sent and an
identification of the business
or other entity, or other
individual sending the
message, and the telephone
number of the sending
machine or such business,
other entity, or individual.
(The telephone number
provided may not be a 900

The Ringer Equivalence
Number (REN) is an
indication of the maximum
number of terminals allowed
to be connected to a
telephone interface. The
terminus of an interface may
consist of any combination of
devices, subject only to the
requirement that the sum of
the Ringer Equivalence
Numbers of all the devices
does not exc eed five. The
modem REN is located on
the rear of the equipment on
the product labeling.

Using the X6100 Series
All-In-One in Germany
The X6100 Series All-In-One
requires a German billing
tone filter (Le xmark part
number 14B5123) to be
installed on any line which
receives metering pulses in
Germ any. Metering pulses
may or may not be present
on analog lines in Germany.
The subscriber may request
that metering pulses be
placed on the line, or can
have them removed by
calling the German network
provider. Normally, metering
pulses are not provided
unless specifically requested
by the subscriber at the time
of installation.
Using the X6100 Series
All-In-One in
Switzerland
The X6100 Series All-In-One
requires a Swiss billing tone
filter (Lexmark part number
14B5109) to be installed on
any line which receives
metering pulses in
Switzerland. The Lex mark
filter must be used, as
metering pulses are present
on all analog telephone lines
in Switzerland.
The Lexmark X6100 Series

into an outlet on a circuit
diff erent from that to
which the receiver is
connected.
•Consult your point of
purchase or ser v ice
representative f or
additional suggestions.
The manufacturer is not
responsible for any radio or
television interference
caused by using other than
recommended cables or by
unauthorized changes or
modifications to this
equipment. Unauthorized
changes or modifications
could void the user's
authority to operate this
equipment.
Note:To assure
compliance with FCC
regulations on
electromagnetic
interference for a Class B
109
computing device, use a
properly shielded and
grounded cable such as
Lexmark par t number
