Toner cartridge information
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Make
sure the user follows the recommendations in this section to ensure the highest quality and longest
life of the toner cartridge.
Storage
The toner cartridge (C4096A) should not be removed from its package until installation. The shelf life
of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2.5 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an
opened package is approximately 6 months. The expiration date of the toner cartridge is stamped on
the cartridge box.
If cartridges are stored, the storage environment should meet the conditions listed in the following
table:
If the toner cartridge must be removed from the printer, always store the cartridge:
l
inside the protective bag in which it was originally packaged.
l
in a dark cabinet, away from direct sunlight.
l
correct side up and in a horizontal position (not standing on end).
l
in a temperature listed in the table above.
l
away from ammonia or other organic solvent fumes.
CAUTION
Never ship the printer with a toner cartridge installed. Excessive vibration during shipping can cause
toner to leak, contaminating the printer.
Never expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight, or to room light. Bright light and direct sunlight can
permanently damage a toner cartridge.
Handling instructions
l
Before installing a cartridge, evenly distribute the toner. See “Redistributing the toner” on page
67.
l
Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge. Protect the drum from light
and contamination.
l
Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
l
Do not expose the photosensitive drum to strong light. Blurred areas on the page might indicate
that the drum has been exposed to light for too long. This causes permanent damage to the
photosensitive drum. Replace the cartridge.
l
Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; it can cause internal damage
and toner spills.
