2.2 Storage and Handling of FX6 Toner Cartridge
Whether the cartridge is still sealed in its box or installed in the printer, the effect of the natural
environment will change it over time regardless of the number of prints. As the progression of
this natural change depends on the storage or installation environment, take sufficient care in
storing and handling the cartridges.
2.2.1 Before unsealing the box
When the cartridge is stored in a warehouse, workshop, etc., be sure to keep it within the
ranges shown in Table 1-1. Note the following points:
a) Avoid locations in direct sunlight.
b) Do not leave in areas exposed to strong vibration.
c) Do not bump or drop.
