Storage and Handling of Consumables
The toner and drum cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and
humidity. Follow the recommendations provided to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality,
and longest life from your new cartridge.
Follow the guidelines below for storing and handling consumables:
• Always store cartridges unopened and inside their original package.
• Store the correct side up in a horizontal position (not standing on end).
• Do not store consumables in:
• Temperatures 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 vehicle for a long period of time.
• An environment where corrosive gases are present.
• An environment with salty air.
• Do not store consumables directly on the floor.
• Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the drum cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum in the drum cartridge, especially in the reverse direction; this can
cause internal damage and toner spillage.
When to Order Consumable Supplies
To avoid print quality problems resulting from worn parts and to maintain your
machine in top working condition, replace the toner and drum cartridges as
directed:
• A flashing red warning light and an error message appear on the control
panel when a toner cartridge or drum cartridge is near its replacement time.
The Machine Status light flashes red when your toner cartridge or drum cartridge is low and will
need replacement soon. Check that you have replacements on hand, and order them when the
warning appears if you do not. It is important to order these items when the messages first
appear to avoid interruptions to your printing.
• A solid red warning light and an error message appear on the control panel when the toner or
drum cartridge must be replaced. The Machine Status light becomes solid red to indicate a
replacement is needed for the toner cartridge or the drum cartridge.
To replace the toner or drum cartridge follow the instructions provided below or with the consumable.
WARNING: When replacing consumables, DO NOT remove the covers or guards that are fastened
with screws. You cannot maintain or service any of the parts that are behind these covers and
guards. Do NOT attempt any maintenance procedure that is NOT specifically described in the
documentation supplied with your machine.
