Handling and Storing Precautions

Do not throw cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite and result in burns or a fire.

Never attempt to disassemble the cartridge or open the protective shutter of the drum.

• If the copier is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if the room is rapidly heated, condensation may form inside the copier. This can adversely effect the quality of your copy images (e.g., copies are completely blank).
  When the copier is exposed to such conditions, allow at least two hours for the copier to adjust to room temperature before attempting to use it.
• Always hold the cartridge as shown so that the side with the written instructions is facing upward. Do not forcefully move or push the protection shutter of the drum in any way.
  

Do not store cartridge or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner or copy paper to ignite and result in burns or fire.

Keep cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If these items are ingested, consult a physician immediately.

• Place the cartridge in its shipping bag so that the side with the written instructions is facing upward. Then, place the bagged cartridge into its shipping box. Store the unused cartridge out of direct sunlight.
• For partially used/opened cartridges, place the cartridge in its shipping bag so that the side with the written instructions is facing upward. Then place the bagged cartridge into its shipping box and store it away from direct sunlight.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end or turn it upside down.
• Avoid storing the cartridge in front of heaters and humidifiers, etc. Store it in a location where the temperature does not exceed 104^o F.
• The recommended storage conditions are as follows:
  Temperature - 68^o F to 77^o F
  Relative Humidity - 40% to 70%.

If you remove a cartridge from the copier, store the cartridge as described below.

Place the cartridge in its shipping bag so that the side with the written instructions is facing upward. Then, place the cartridge into its shipping box. Be sure to securely close the lid on the shipping box. If you do not have the shipping bag or box for the cartridge, store the cartridge in a dark location.
