Frequently Asked Questions
Will a high-yield 100XL cartridge physically fit into the same slot as a standard 100 cartridge?
Yes, high-yield 100XL cartridges share identical external dimensions with standard capacity 100 cartridges. The extra ink capacity is accommodated internally, allowing seamless installation into the exact same cartridge slot.
Why does text output turn faint even when the ink level indicator shows remaining ink?
Thermal inkjet printers like the Lexmark Genesis rely on consistent ink flow to cool the printhead. Microscopic ink drying can occasionally restrict nozzle ports during extended idle periods, causing faint lines even when ink volume remains inside the cartridge.
Does the Lexmark Genesis S815 require colour cartridges installed to print monochrome black text?
Yes, the printer firmware requires all cartridge slots to have functional cartridges installed with valid chip communication before initiating any print task, even when printing exclusively in black and white mode.
