Whether it is left packed or unpacked, or is fitted to the machine, the cartridge is subject to the effects of the environment, and will deteriorate over time. The speed

of deterioration depends on the site or storage condition, and cannot be generalized. Take full care when

storing or handing it.

If the cartridge is to be stored in a storeroom or a workshop, be sure to refer to table, and keep the following in mind:

- Avoid direct sunshine.

- Avoid vibration.

- Avoid impact. (Take care not to drop it.)

The photosensitive medium is made of organic photo-conducting material (OPC), and will deteriorate if exposed to strong light. It is also used to hold toner inside

it. Be sure to advise the user to be fully careful when storing and handling the cartridge. (The cartridge must always be put inside a protective bag for storage.)

a. Use a protective bag for storage.

b. Avoid areas subject to direct sunshine (e.g., near a window). Do not leave it alone inside a card, as the temperature can rise to an extremely high level. (These

are also true even if the cartridge is put in a protective bag.)

c. Avoid areas subject to high temperature/humidity or low temperature/humidity, areas subject to rapid changes in temperature or humidity, or areas subject to

condensation (e.g., near an air conditioner).

d. Avoid areas exposed to corrosive gas (e.g., insecticide) or salty air.

e. Avoid areas subject to dust, ammonium gas, or organic solvent gas.

f. Avoid areas near a CRT display, disk drive, and floppy disk. (The magnetism from the cartridge can destroy the data.)

g. Keep it out of reach of children.

h. Keep the temperature between 0 and 35 deg C.
