A toner cartridge consists of 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.
IMPORTANT
- When you take the toner cartridge out of the printer for servicing the printer, place the toner cartridge into the original protective pack, or wrap it with a thick cloth immediately.
- When replacing a toner cartridge, be sure to replace the toner cartridge of the same color.
- When handling a toner cartridge, hold the tabs (A) as shown in the figure.
- Do not hold the lock release lever (B) or shutter (C) of the toner cartridge as shown in the figure. Be careful not to hold or touch areas that are not specified in this procedure. This may result in damage to the cartridge.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the toner cartridge.
- 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 pack to allow it to adjust to the new temperature.
