Storage Guidelines
• Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open
the bag until you are ready to install the cartridge in
the printer.
• Do not store the cartridge where it will be exposed
to direct sunlight.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it
upside down. If the toner becomes caked in the
cartridge, it may prove impossible to free it even by
shaking the cartridge, and print quality can
deteriorate.
• Do not store the cartridge at a high temperature or in
high humidity, or in places where the temperature or
humidity can change abruptly.
• Store the cartridge at temperatures between 0˚C and
35˚C (between 32˚F and 95˚F).
• Do not store the cartridge in salty air or where there
are corrosive gases such as those from aerosol
sprays.
•Keep the cartridge away from a monitor's cathode
ray tube (CRT), disk drives and floppy disks. The
magnet in the cartridge can distort the image on the
CRT, or damage data on disks.
