Setting Up
Installing the Cartridge
This section describes how to install the cartridge in the machine for the very first time.
If you are replacing a used cartridge, see p. 12-7.
Before installing the cartridge, be sure to read the following:
• Use only FX-3 cartridges in your machine. The FX-3 S Cartridge is a starter cartridge
that comes with your machine, and yields approximately 1,500 pages of printouts.
•Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The
magnet inside the cartridge may harm these items.
• Do not store the cartridge in direct sunlight.
•Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in
temperature. Store the cartridge between 32°F and 95°F (0°C and 35°C).
•Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for longer than five
minutes.
• Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to
install the cartridge in the machine.
•Save the cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the
cartridge at a later date.
• Do not store the cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases
such as from aerosol sprays.
• Do not remove the cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
• Do not open the drum protective shutter on the cartridge.
Print quality may deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to
light or is damaged.
• Hold the cartridge by its handle so that your hand is
not touching the drum protective shutter.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it
upside down. If toner becomes caked in the cartridge,
it may prove impossible to free it even by shaking the
cartridge.
c
Do not place the cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
