CAUTION: HOT SURFACE
2. Protect the light-sensitive drum from exposure to light. The drum
should not be exposed to any light stronger than room light.
Furthermore, the drum should not be exposed to room light for

on the cartridge may cause toner powder to spill into the printer. If
there is a spill, the toner must be removed by a small vacuum
cleaner.
