Toner Cartridge Handling
Attention
Do not hold a toner cartridge vertically. Do not touch the 
toner roller surface 
c or the protective shutter d. This 
could lower image quality.
Keep toner cartridges:
„In their packaging until you’re ready to install them.
„In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat). 
The maximum storage temperature is 95
° F (35
° C) and the maximum storage humid-
ity is 80% without condensation.
„Level during storage. 
Do not stand or store cartridges on their ends or turn them upside down; the toner 
inside the cartridges may become caked or unequally distributed.
„Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.
„Away from disk drives and floppy disks. 
The magnets in the cartridges can damage stored data.

immediately wipe it with a dry, lint-free soft cotton cloth or swabs.
If the toner cartridge you want to replace is the one showing, go to step 5. If not, go

Refilled Toner Cartridges
Attention
Refilled toner cartridges may produce variations in toner quality and reliability and 
can reduce the print quality of your documents. Any damage to the printer or quality 
problems caused by a refilled toner cartridge use will void your warranty.
Replacing the OPC Drum, Laser Lens Cover, and Waste 
Toner Pack 
Attention
The OPC drum is extremely sensitive to bright light and direct sunlight. Always 
leave it in its protective bag until you’re ready to install it. Any exposure to light 
should be avoided, or permanent damage could result. Any damage resulting from 
mishandling of the OPC drum will void the warranty of the OPC drum. Also, handle 
the cartridge carefully by its sides so you don’t touch the surface (the green part) of 
the drum. The drum is also extremely sensitive to hand oils and scratches, both of 
which reduce print quality.

5The OPC drum life is directly related to the number of rotations of the drum.  Longest 
drum life is achieved with continuous printing. Intermittent printing with small job sizes 
requires cleaning rotations before and after each job, and subsequently will impact 
OPC life.
