Handling and Storing the Cartridge
This section describes the precautions to ensure optimum copy quality.
Handling Precautions
WARNING
•
Do not throw the cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the toner to
ignite and result in burns or a fire.
•
The cartridge emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and
feel abnormalities, please move away from the cartridge, and consult a
physician.
IMPORTANT
Never attempt to disassemble the cartridge or open the drum protective shutter.
NOTE
•
If the machine is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if the room is
rapidly heated, condensation may form inside the machine.
This can adversely effect the quality of your printouts (e.g., copies are completely
black).
When the machine is exposed to such conditions, allow at least 2 hours for the
machine to adjust to room temperature before attempting to use it.
•
When handling the cartridge, take care not to allow the toner on the jammed paper to
come into contact with your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them
immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner, and make it
impossible to remove the toner stains.
•
Always hold the cartridge as shown so that the side with the instructions (A) faces up.
Do not forcefully move or push the drum protective shutter (B) in any way.
Storage Precautions
WARNING
Do not store cartridges or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this
may cause the toner or copy paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
