Storage

To extend the life of toner cartridges, note the following:

• Only remove the cartridge from its packaging just before its installation.

• Do not refill printer cartridges.

• The printer's warranty is voided when refilled cartridges are used.

• Store the cartridge in an environment similar to where the printer is placed. The cartridge should

be stored in the shade.

• To avoid damaging the cartridge, do not expose it to the sun for more than a few minutes.

Expected Life

The actual number of printable pages varies depending on the image volume and density, number

of pages printed at a time, paper type and paper size used, and environmental conditions such as

temperature and humidity.

• The average number of printable pages varies with the toner cartridge supplied with the printer:

• 700 pages for Europe and North America models

• 1,500 pages for the Asia model

• Using non-recommended paper can shorten the life of the cartridge and device parts.

• Frequency of cartridge replacement varies with the type of document printed, print media and

print coverage.

Recycling the cartridge

• Separate used cartridges from household garbage and dispose them according to local laws

and regulations.

For more information, contact your local waste treatment agency. Reseal the cartridge before

disposal to prevent accidental toner spills.

• Place used cartridges on clean paper to prevent accidental spilling or scattering of the toner.
