Storing Drum Cartridges
Take care of the following points when storing a new drum cartridge or handling a
drum cartridge that has been taken out of the printer for maintenance or to move
the printer.
IMPORTANT
•
Do not remove a new drum cartridge from the protective bag until it is ready to be used.
•
If a drum cartridge has to be removed from the printer for maintenance, place it in the
protective bag that it came in or wrap it with a thick cloth immediately.
•
Do not store the drum cartridge in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
•
Do not store cartridges in a hot or humid place, or a place where the temperature and
humidity can change rapidly.
Storing temperature range: 0 to 35
°
C (32 to 95
°
F)
Storing humidity range: 35 to 85% RH (no condensation)
•
Do not store the drum cartridge in a place where corrosive gases, such as ammonia, are
generated, or where a considerable amount of salt is contained in the air, or where there
is a lot of dust.
•
Keep the drum cartridge out of reach of small children.
■ Condensation
Even when the humidity is within the storage range, water droplets may form on the inside
or outside of the drum cartridge due to temperature differences with the surrounding air.
This condensation will have a bad effect on the performance of the drum cartridge.
