such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing quality problems can occur and cause damage to the machine.

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 cartridge.

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 installation – If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge with paper and store it in a dark cabinet.

Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically 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 according to the following guidelines:

Inside the protective bag from the original package.

Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it was installed in the machine.

Do not store consumable in any of the following conditions:

-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).

-Humidity range less than 20% and not 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.

Handling instructions

Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.

Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.

Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can cause internal damage and toner spillage.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge

Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges.

Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner cartridge.

Estimated cartridge life

Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Tips for moving & storing your machine

When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. Otherwise, the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, which can cause damage to the machine or reduce print quality.
