•
When handling a toner cartridge, hold it properly as shown in the figure. Do not stand it
on its end, or turn it upside down.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the toner cartridge.
•
If you expose a toner cartridge to rapid changes in temperature, droplets of water
(condensation) may form on the interior and exterior of the cartridge. If a new toner
cartridge that has been stored in a cool location is going to be installed in a warm area,
leave the cartridge for two or more hours without opening the protective bag to allow the
cartridge to adjust to the surrounding temperature before opening the bag.
•
Be sure to use new toner cartridges before the expiration date indicated on the package.
