Storing And Handling The Cartridge; Storing The Cartridge With The Packaging Seal Intact - Canon PC920 Service Manual

CHAPTER 10 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
IV. STORING AND HANDLING THE CARTRIDGE
The cartridge is subject to the effects of the environment whether its packing seal is intact or
removed or whether it is inside the machine or otherwise, changing over time regardless of the
number of copies made. The degree of change is highly dependent on the site of installation and
how it is maintained, and no general rule may be drawn; however, it is important to exercise care
when storing or handling it.
