Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature and humidity.
Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure optimal performance, highest
quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in
controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original
and unopened package until installation – if original packaging is not available, cover the top
opening of the cartridge with paper and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf and operating
life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed from the printer, follow the
instructions below to store the toner cartridge properly.
• Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
• Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it were installed in the
machine.
• Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F)
- Humidity range less than 20% and greater than 80%
- An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature
- Direct sunlight or room light
- Dusty places
- A car for a long period of time
- An environment where corrosive gases are present
- An environment with salty air
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can cause internal
damage and toner spillage.
