Precautions for Handling the Drum Cartridge
The drum cartridge is composed of light-sensitive components and intricate 
mechanical components. Handling the cartridge roughly can damage it or cause 
deterioration of printing quality. Whenever you are installing or removing the drum 
cartridge, take care of the following handling precautions.
WARNING
Do not put spent drum cartridges into a fire. Any toner remaining in the drum 
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
•If you touch the inner drum with your hand or scratch it, the printing quality will be 
degraded. Do not touch or open the drum protective shutter under any circumstances. Be 
careful not to hold or touch sensitive areas such as the sensor or electrical contacts. 
Doing so may damage the drum cartridge.
•Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight or strong light.
•If a drum cartridge has to be removed from the printer for maintenance, immediately 
place it in the protective bag that it came in.

•Do not hold or touch the electrical contacts. Doing so may damage the drum cartridge.
•Do not hold or touch the transfer belt. Doing so will degrade the printing quality. Do not 
jolt the drum cartridge memory or bring it near a magnetic field. Doing so may damage 
the drum cartridge.
•When handling the drum 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 drum cartridge.
•If you expose the drum cartridge to rapid changes in temperature, droplets of water 
(condensation) may form on the interior and exterior of the cartridge. If a new drum 
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 a new cartridge within the expiration date indicated on the package.

Storing Drum Cartridges
Take care of the following points when storing a new drum cartridge or handling a 
drum cartridge that has been taken out of the printer for maintenance or to move 
the printer.
IMPORTANT
•Do not remove a new drum cartridge from the protective bag until it is ready to be used.
•If a drum cartridge has to be removed from the printer for maintenance, place it in the 
protective bag that it came in or wrap it with a thick cloth immediately.
•Do not store the drum 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 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 drum 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 drum 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 drum cartridge due to temperature differences with the surrounding air. 
This condensation will have a bad effect on the performance of the drum cartridge.
