Storing Toner Cartridges

Follow the instructions below to store replacement toner cartridges or cartridges
removed from the printer for repair, or cartridges that have been taken out of the
printer for moving purposes.
IMPORTANT
•
Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to
install the new toner cartridge in the printer.
•
When you remove the toner cartridge from the printer, store it in its original protective
bag, or wrap a sheet of paper around the cartridge to prevent dust from accumulating on
the drum. Then wrap the cartridge in a piece of thick cloth.
•
Always store toner cartridges laying flat. Never stand the cartridge on end or turn it
upside down.
•
Do not store the cartridge where it is exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Never store a toner cartridge in areas with high temperatures or humidity, or where the
temperature or humidity can change suddenly.
•
The applicable temperature range for storage: 0° - 35°C (32° - 95°F).
•
The applicable humidity range for storage: 35% - 85% RH (relative humidity), with no
condensation.
•
Never store the toner cartridge in salty air, or where there are corrosive gases (e.g. from
aerosol sprays).
•
Store the toner cartridge in a clean, dry location.
•
Keep the toner cartridge away from devices that emit a magnetic field, such as the
display or main unit of your computer.
•
Keep the toner cartridge away from your computer screen, disk drives, and floppy
disks—the magnets in the toner cartridge can erase valuable data.
•
Keep the toner cartridge out of the reach of children.
Preventing Condensation
Condensation may form in a toner cartridge if it is subject to extreme changes in
temperature and/or humidity, which can adversely affect print quality. If you move the
cartridge to a location that is warmer or has higher humidity, let it sit out of the box for
about an hour. This allows it to slowly adjust to the new temperature, preventing
condensation from forming.
