Handling Instructions • Before installing a cartridge, evenly distribute the toner. See "Redistributing the Toner" (page 66) for instructions. • Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge. Protect the drum from light and contamination. • Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock. • 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. • Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; it can cause internal damage and toner spills. Cleaning Spilled Toner Defective toner cartridges can develop leaks. In addition, after a paper jam has occured, some toner might remain on the rollers and guides inside the printer. The pages that print immediately after the jam might pick up this toner. To clean skin and clothing if toner spills, remove as much toner as possible with dry tissue, then wash with cold water. Hot water causes toner to permanently set into clothing. C4170-90959 Toner Cartridge Information 63
