Print cartridge maintenance

The print cartridge life is very sensitive to the content of the received fax or a copy you made. To increase its
life, we recommend you follow the instructions below:
• DO NOT unpack the cartridge until you are ready to use it.
• Store it in the same environment as the printer.
• If you have unpacked the cartridge but are not using it, store it in a storage unit. If you do not have a storage unit,
store the cartridge in an airtight plastic bag.
• DO NOT leave it exposed for an extended period.
• DO NOT refill the cartridge. The warranty will not cover damage caused by using refilled cartridges.
