3.3.2 Storing or Handling the Cartridge After Unpacking
The photosensitive medium is made of organic photo-conducting material (OPC), and
will deteriorate if exposed to strong light. It is also used to hold toner inside it. Be sure to
advise the user to be fully careful when storing and handling the cartridge. (The cartridge
must always be put inside a protective bag for storage.)
3.3.2.1 Storing After Unpacking
a. Use a protective bag for storage.
b. Avoid areas subject to direct sunshine (e.g., near a window). Do not leave it alone inside
a card, as the temperature can rise to an extremely high level. (These are also true even if
the cartridge is put in a protective bag.)
c. Avoid areas subject to high temperature/humidity or low temperature/humidity, areas
subject to rapid changes in temperature or humidity, or areas subject to condensation
(e.g., near an air conditioner).
d. Avoid areas exposed to corrosive gas (e.g., insecticide) or salty air.
e. Avoid areas subject to dust, ammonium gas, or organic solvent gas.
