Storing and Handling Toner Cartridges
This section tells you how to store and handle toner cartridges. Follow these
instructions:
• To avoid temporary problems caused by moisture, allow enough time for
toner cartridges to stabilize in the printer’s environment.
• Do not unseal or remove a toner cartridge from its protective package until it
has reached room temperature (1–2 hours).
• Do not store the cartridges where they are exposed to direct sunlight.
• Do not store the cartridges at high temperature or high humidity, or where
the temperature or humidity can change abruptly.
• Store the toner cartridges horizontally in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
The maximum storage temperature is 30°C (86°F). The maximum storage
humidity is 80% without condensation.
• Do not store the cartridges in salty air or where there are corrosive gases
such as aerosol spray.
• Remove the cartridges from the printer when you move the printer. Put the
cartridges in their original protective bags to avoid exposure to light.
• Do not try to disassemble the cartridges.
• IBM recommends that you use only genuine IBM toner cartridges designed
for this printer.
• The printer uses the rectangular, transparent windows at the top and bottom
of a toner cartridge to detect the toner level. When you handle a toner
cartridge, do not touch or scratch the windows. If you do, the toner-level
detection mechanism may not work correctly.
• Be sure to replace a used toner cartridge with a cartridge of the same color.
Never insert a toner cartridge if its color does not match the color markers on
the turret. If you do, you may have problems printing.
