C A U T I O N
The photoconductor unit weighs 4.5 kg (9.9 lb). Be sure to
hold it firmly by the handle when carrying it.
When replacing the photoconductor unit, avoid exposing
it to room light any longer than necessary.
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. Also,
avoid touching the drum, since oil from your skin may per-
manently damage its surface and affect print quality.
To get the best print quality, do not store the photocon-
ductor unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty
air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid loca-
tions subject to extreme or rapid changes in temperature
or humidity.
W A R N I N G
Do not dispose of the used photoconductor unit in fire, as it
may explode and cause injury. Dispose of it according to
local regulations.
