Routine Maintenance

•
Do not hold or touch the electrical contacts. Doing so may damage the drum cartridge.
•
Do not hold or touch the transfer belt. Doing so will degrade the printing quality. Do not
jolt the drum cartridge memory or bring it near a magnetic field. Doing so may damage
the drum cartridge.
•
When handling the drum 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 drum cartridge.
•
If you expose the drum cartridge to rapid changes in temperature, droplets of water
(condensation) may form on the interior and exterior of the cartridge. If a new drum
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 a new cartridge within the expiration date indicated on the package.
