Your Lexmark Printhead Can Be Replaced

The printhead is an important part of your printer as it controls the ink and other parts of the machine. You can find a replacement Lexmark printhead on eBay for an affordable price. Here are a few things you should know before buying a replacement part for your printer.

Is there a difference between a printhead and a cartridge?

The printhead is a component in the printer. It controls ink usage in your machine. You can find these components in a dot matrix or inkjet printer. The printhead is part of the cartridge unit. It is the printhead that receives the printing command from the computer. This component is responsible for delivering the correct amount of ink to the right location. The printhead moves horizontally to print on the paper. This unit houses the nozzles and electric circuits. Without the printhead, your machine would not work.

How do you know when to install a new printhead?

The life of a printhead will depend on its usage. The typical printhead needs to be replaced every six months. Most printers will indicate when this part needs to be replaced. You will notice more printing streaks as the printhead starts to fail.

If you are noticing an error on your computer, you will need to remove the printhead to replace it. When this happens, you want to carefully remove both the cartridge and printhead. Depending on your Lexmark model, your printers user screen may give you the necessary steps to install the printhead.

In most machines, it only takes a few minutes to complete the new installation. You will need to turn on the printer and remove all the cartridges. The nozzles should never point down towards the floor. If that happens, ink can run out of the cartridge. It is also important to never leave the cartridges and printheads out of the machine for more than 30 minutes. The nozzles need to remain clean. You should always carefully avoid touching any part around them. Once you have the machine door open, you can snap the new printhead into place. Once the door is closed, the Lexmark printer will have to recalibrate. It will print out a test sheet to verify that the printer is working.
