which is in inside of the toner cartridge.
• Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or
rapid changes in temperature.
• Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright
light for more than five minutes.
• Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open
the bag until you are ready to install the toner cartridge in the

required when transporting the machine such as during
relocation.

there are corrosive gases such as from aerosol sprays.

unnecessarily.

light or is damaged.

• When disposing of a used toner cartridge, place the toner
container into its protective bag to prevent the toner from
scattering, and then dispose of the toner cartridge according to
