•
If a drum cartridge has to be removed from the machine for maintenance, attach the
protective cover immediately and place it in the protective bag that it came in.
•
Do not hold or touch the electrical contacts. It may result in damage to the machine.
•
Do not hold or touch the imaging transfer belt. The image quality may deteriorate. Do not
apply shock to the drum cartridge memory or bring it near magnetic waves. It may result
in damage to the machine.
•
When handling a drum cartridge, hold it properly as shown in the figure. Do not set it
vertically or upside-down.
•
Never attempt to disassemble or modify the cartridge.
•
If a cartridge is brought to an environment where the temperature differs extremely,
condensation may occur both inside and on the outside of the cartridge. If you are going
to install a cartridge that was stored in a cold place in a warm room, leave the cartridge
stored in the protective bag for over two hours in the warm room so that it can adapt to
the ambient temperature.
•
Be sure to use a new cartridge within the expiration date indicated on the package.
•
Using a genuine Canon drum cartridge is recommended.
