Precautions for Handling Toner Cartridges
The toner cartridges are composed of light-sensitive components and intricate 
mechanical components. Handling the cartridges roughly can damage them or 
cause deterioration of printing quality. Whenever you are installing or removing 
toner cartridges, take care of the following handling precautions.
WARNING
Do not put spent toner cartridges into a fire. Any toner remaining in the toner 
cartridge may ignite, causing burns or fire.
CAUTION
Be careful to avoid staining your clothes or hands with toner. If you do get any 
toner on your clothes or hands, wash it off immediately with cold water. If you 
rinse using hot water the toner may become fixed, creating a stain that cannot 
be removed.
IMPORTANT
•Never expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or strong light.

•If a toner cartridge is removed from the printer during maintenance, attach the protective 
cover immediately and place it in the protective bag that it came in or wrap it in a thick 
cloth.
•Be careful not to hold or touch sensitive areas such as the sensor or electrical contacts. 
Doing so may damage the toner cartridge.
•Do not hold or touch the developing roller. Doing so will degrade the printing quality. Do 
not jolt the toner cartridge memory or bring it near a magnetic field. Doing so may 
damage the toner cartridge.

•When handling a toner cartridge, hold it properly as shown in the figure. Do not stand it 
on its end, or turn it upside down.
•Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the toner cartridge.
•If you expose a toner cartridge to rapid changes in temperature, droplets of water 
(condensation) may form on the interior and exterior of the cartridge. If a new toner 
cartridge that has been stored in a cool location is going to be installed in a warm area, 
leave the cartridge for two or more hours without opening the protective bag to allow the 
cartridge to adjust to the surrounding temperature before opening the bag.
•Be sure to use new toner cartridges before the expiration date indicated on the package.
Storing Toner Cartridges
Take care 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 to move 
the printer.
IMPORTANT
•Do not take a new toner cartridge out of the protective bag until you are ready to use it.
•If a toner cartridge is removed from the printer during maintenance, attach the protective 
cover immediately and place it in the protective bag that it came in or wrap it in a thick 
cloth.
•Do not stand it on its end, or turn it upside down. Store the cartridge in the same direction 
as when it is installed in the printer.
•Do not store the toner cartridge in a place exposed to direct sunlight.

•Do not store a cartridge in a hot or humid place, or a place where the temperature and 
humidity can change rapidly.
Storing temperature range: 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.
•Keep the toner cartridge out of reach of small children.
■Condensation
Even when the humidity is within the storage range, water droplets may form on the inside 
or outside of the toner cartridge due to temperature differences with the surrounding air. 
This condensation will have a bad effect on the performance of the toner cartridge.
