Storing the consumables
Consumables contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. HP suggests users
follow these recommendations to ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new
HP consumables.
Store the consumables in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in controlled
temperature and humidity conditions. The consumables should remain in their original and unopened package
until installation.
If the consumables are removed from the printer, follow the instructions below to store the imaging unit
properly.
●
Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
●
Store lying at (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% or 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.
Imaging unit handling instructions
●
Opening the imaging unit package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf and operating life. Do
not store on the oor.
●
If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the imaging unit with paper and store in a
dark cabinet.
●
Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the imaging unit.
●
Do not expose the imaging unit 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
HP cannot recommend the use of non-HP toner cartridges, either new or remanufactured.
NOTE: For HP printer products, the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or a relled toner cartridge does not aect
either the warranty to the customer or any HP support contract with the customer. However, if product failure or
damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP toner cartridge or relled toner cartridge, HP will charge its
standard time and materials charges to service the product for the particular failure or damage.
