If you must expose the drum either by taking the imaging
cartridge out of the printer or by leaving the printer cover
open, cover the drum with a soft cloth or sheet of paper.
l When you remove the imaging cartridge from the printer,
always set the cartridge on a clean, smooth surface.
l
Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. Also, avoid
touching the drum, since oils from your skin can permanently
damage its surface and may affect print quality.
l
Avoid pressing on the top of the toner cartridge. Pressing
directly on the cartridge may cause toner to spill into the
printer. If there is a spill, see Chapter 6 for cleaning
instructions.
l Never try to force the printer’s components into place.
Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling
can damage it.
