Storing the Toner Cartridge
Be careful of the following points for storing a new toner cartridge or handling the
toner cartridge that are taken out of the printer for maintenance or transportation.
IMPORTANT
• Do not take a new toner cartridge out of the protective bag until it is ready to be used.
• If you take the toner cartridge out of the printer for servicing the printer or removing paper
jams, place the toner cartridge into the original protective bag, or wrap it with a thick cloth
immediately.
• Do not place it vertically or upside-down. Store the toner cartridge in the same
orientation as when installed in the printer.
• Do not store the toner cartridge in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not store the toner cartridge in a hot or humid place, or a place where the
temperature and humidity can change significantly.
• Storing temperature range: 0 to 35 ° C (32 to 95 ° F)
• Storing humidity range: 35 to 85 % RH (no condensation)
• Do not store the toner cartridge in a place where corrosive gases, such as ammonia, are
generated, or where a considerable amount of salt is contained in the air, or where there
is a lot of dust.
• Keep the toner cartridge out of the reach of small children.
• Keep the toner cartridge away from products that may be damaged by magnetic waves,
such as a floppy disk or disk drive.
■ Condensation
Even within the storable humidity range, water drops may develop both inside and outside
of the toner cartridge due to the difference in temperature. The development of water
drops is called condensation. Condensation will adversely affect the quality of the toner
cartridge.
