Precautions for Handling Toner Cartridges
A toner cartridge consists of light-sensitive components and intricate mechanical 
components. Handling the toner cartridge without due care may lead to damage to 
the toner cartridge or deterioration in print quality. Be careful of the following points 
when removing or installing the toner cartridge.
WARNING
Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the 
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
Take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or 
cl othing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash 
them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner 
and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
IMPORTANT
•When you take the toner cartridge out of the printer for servicing the printer, place the 
toner cartridge into the original protective bag, or wrap it with a thick cloth immediately.
•Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or strong light.
•Do not jolt the toner cartridge memory (A) or bring it near a magnetic field. This may 
result in damage to the cartridge. Print quality may deteriorate if you touch or damage the 
photosensitive drum inside the toner cartridge. Be sure not to touch or open the drum 
protective shutter (B).

Condensation may form in and on a toner cartridge if it is brought into an environment 
that exposes it to sudden changes in temperature and/or humidity. If you move the toner 
cartridge to a location that is warmer or has higher humidity, leave the cartridge in the 
new location for 2 hours or longer without opening the protective bag to allow it to adjust 
to the new temperature.
•Be sure to use a new toner cartridge before the expiration date indicated on the package.
•K
eep the toner cartridge away from products that generate magnetic waves, such as a 
display or computer.
•A toner cartridge is a magnetic product. Keep the toner cartridge away from products that 
may be damaged by magnetic waves, such as a floppy disk or disk drive. This may lead 
to damage to data.
 
Storing Toner Cartridges
Be careful of the following points when storing a new toner cartridge or handling a 
toner cartridge that has been taken out of the printer for maintenance or moving the 
printer.
IMPORTANT
•Do not take a new toner cartridge out of the protective bag until it is ready to be used.
•When you take the toner cartridge out of the printer for servicing the printer or other 
purposes, place the toner cartridge into the original protective bag, or wrap it with a thick 
cloth immediately.
•Do not place it vertically or upside-down. Store the toner cartridge in the same 
orientation as when installed in the printer.
•Do not store the toner cartridge in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
•Do not store cartridges in a hot or humid place, or a place where the temperature and 
humidity can change significantly.
    Storing environment temperature: 0 to 35°C (32 to 95°F)
    Storing humidity range: 35 to 85% RH (no condensation)
•Do not store the toner cartridge in a place where corrosive gases, such as ammonia, are 
generated, or where a considerable amount of salt is contained in the air, or where there 
is a lot of dust.
•K eep the toner cartridge out of the reach of small children.
•Keep the toner cartridge away from products that may be damaged by magnetic waves, 
such as a floppy disk or disk drive.
■ Condensation
Even within the storable humidity range, water droplets may develop both inside and 
outside of the toner cartridge due to the difference in temperature. The development of 
wa ter droplets is called condensation. Condensation will adversely affect the quality of the 
toner cartridge.
