tions for removing installed paper-handling options.

Storing the Printer for Long Periods of Time
If you will not be using the printer for several months, use the following procedure to prepare
the printer for storage:
1. Turn the printer off by pressing the [ O ] on the power switch on the right side of the
printer.
2. Unplug the AC power cord from the AC wall outlet.
3. Disconnect the printer from the host computer.
4. Remove the paper from all of the paper trays.
5. If you will be storing the printer for six months or longer, remove the toner cartridge and
place it in an opaque plastic bag, and seal the bag with tape.
NOTE: After prolonged inactivity the toner cartridge may degrade to the point where it is no longer usable
and must be replaced. Poor print quality and frequent paper jams may indicate that the toner has
solidified and that the drum has oxidized during storage.
6. Cover the printer with a plastic sheet and tape down the corners.
7. Store the printer in an area where the temperature and humidity are moderate, as
described in "Environment" on page 1-5.
NOTE: Do not stack other items on top of the printer when storing the printer.
