Points to Note When Handling the Cartridge
a. When fitting the cartridge to the machine, on if white spots start to occur in copy images
caused by decreasing toner, hold the cartridge level as shown in
F01-303-01,
and rock it
about
90"
to both sides 5 to
6
times, thereby evening out the toner inside it. Do not
shake the cartridge in ways not indicated; otherwise, toner can start to leak from the
cleaner assembly.
To fully prevent soling of output images caused by toner leakage, be sure to make 3 to
5
test copies after fitting the cartridge in the machine.
