							1005. MaintenanceStoring the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, 
temperature and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these 
recommendations to ensure optmal performance, highest quality, 
and longest life from your new Samsung 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
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of 
non-Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including 
generic, store brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges.
