D. Cartridge storage and handling
Cartridges are constantly influenced by the surrounding environment whether the
packaging is sealed or opened, or the cartridge is installed in the main unit. The car-
tridge will deteriorate over time regardless of the number of pages copied. The pace of
this deterioration over time depends on the installed and storage environments. Please
take sufficient care when storing and handling the cartridge.
1. Storage when the packing seal is intact
When cartridges are stored in a warehouse or workshop, do not place them in loca-
tions other than those listed in Table 1-4. Also, take heed of the following points.
• Do not store in direct sunlight.
• Do not store in a location subject to strong vibrations.
• Do not handle roughly or drop.
