Print cartridge maintenance
The print cartridge life is very sensitive to the content of the received fax or a copy you made. To increase its
life, we recommend you follow the instructions below:
• DO NOT unpack the cartridge until you are ready to use it.
• Store it in the same environment as the printer.
• If you have unpacked the cartridge but are not using it, store it in a storage unit. If you do not have a storage unit,
store the cartridge in an airtight plastic bag.
• DO NOT leave it exposed for an extended period.
• DO NOT refill the cartridge. The warranty will not cover damage caused by using refilled cartridges.

To maintain good printing quality, we recommend you occasionally wipe the Print Nozzles and Contacts as
