Replacing the Print Cartridge
The print cartridge contains the dry ink as well as the xerographic drum and associated compo-
nents that create the xerographic image on a sheet of paper. The print cartridge will eventually
run out of ink through normal use. When the toner is low, printed images will be uneven or very
light. Use the following guidelines when using or storing a print cartridge:
■ An unopened and correctly stored print cartridge has a shelf life of approximately two
years.
■ Do not open the box containing the print cartridge until you are ready to install the car-
tridge into the printer.
■ Store the print cartridge box horizontally—not on end.
■ Keep the cartridge out of the reach of children. Store it in an area where the temperature
remains between 32
°F and 95°F (0°C and 35°C) and the humidity remains between 15%
and 85%. If you bring a cold print cartridge into a warm room, wait a least an hour for the
temperature to stabilize before opening the cartridge box.
■ Do not disassemble the print cartridge.
■ Toner is a safe material. If you get any on your hands, DO NOT wash them in hot water.
Use only COLD water to wash off toner. Hot water sets the toner and makes it difficult to
remove.
■ A shutter (1) protects the photosensitive drum from ambient light. Do not open the drum
shutter by hand.

CAUTION: Do not expose the new print cartridge to strong light for more than a few minutes
before installing it into the printer.
WARNING! Do not dispose of used print cartridges in an incinerator or in an open fire.
