Precautions for Handling Drum Cartridges

A drum cartridge consists of light-sensitive components and intricate mechanical
components. Handling the drum cartridge without due care may lead to damage to
the drum cartridge or deterioration in print quality. Be careful of the following points
when removing or installing the drum cartridge.
WARNING
Do not throw a used drum cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the
•
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
The drum cartridge generates a low level magnetic field. If you use a cardiac
•
pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from the drum cartridge
and consult your physician immediately.
CAUTION
Take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or
clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash
them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner
and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
