Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations to
ensure the optimum performance, highest quality and longest life from your
new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be
used. This should be in controlled office temperature and humidity
conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original and unopened
package until installation – If original packaging is not available, cover the
top opening of the cartridge with paper and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful
shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is
removed from the printer, follow the instruction below to store the toner
cartridge properly.
• Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
• Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it
was installed in the machine.
• Do not store consumable in any of the following conditions:
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% and not greater than 80%.
-An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
-Direct sunlight or room light.
-Dusty places.
-A car for a long period of time.
-An environment where corrosive gases are present.
-An environment with salty air.
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this
can cause internal damage and toner spillage.
Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of
non-Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store
brand, refilled or remanufactured toner cartridges.
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine
caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured or non-Samsung
brand toner cartridge.
Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the
amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, printing interval, media type and/or media size. For example, if
you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may
need to change the cartridge more often.
Maintenance parts
To avoid print quality and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts,
and to maintain your machine in top working condition, the following items
will need to be replaced after the specified number of pages, or when the life
span of each item has expired.
We highly recommend that this maintenance be performed by an authorized
service provider, dealer or the retailer where you bought the machine. The
warranty does not cover the replacement of the maintenance parts after
their lifespan.
The battery inside the machine is a service component. Do not
change it by yourself.
There is risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to your local environmental
guidelines. Don’t puncture or incinerate the battery.
Checking replacables
If you experience frequent paper jams or printing problems, check the
number of pages the machine has printed or scanned. Replace the
corresponding parts, if necessary.

Tips for moving & storing your machine
• When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. Otherwise,
the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, which can
cause damage to the machine or reduce print quality.
• When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding
the machine securely.
