STORING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations below
to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality and longest life from
your new Samsung toner cartridges.
Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in;
this should be in controlled office temperature and humidity conditions. The
toner cartridge should remain in its original, unopened package until instal-
lation – If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the
cartridge with pape
r and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dram
atically shortens its useful
shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is
removed from the printer, always store the cartridge:
• Insi
de the protective bag from the original package.
• Store lying fl
at (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if
they were installed in the machine.
• Do not store consumables in;
- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
- Humidity range not less than 20% nor not greater than 80%.
- An environme
nt with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
- Direct sunlig
ht or room light.
- Dusty places.
- A car for a long period of time.
- An environme
nt where corrosive gases are present.
- An environment with salty air.
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vi
brations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse di
rection; this
can cause internal damage and toner spillage.
