Storing the toner cartridge

Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature 

and humidity. Dell suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure 

optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Dell 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.

Toner cartridge usage

Dell Inc. does not recommend or approve the use of non-Dell brand toner 

cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or 

remanufactured toner cartridges.

 

Dell’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by 
the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Dell brand toner cartridges.
