CHAPTER 1 MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

D. Notes on Cartridge

The cartridge is affected by the environment, regardless of whether it is sealed or unsealed and installed in the machine or otherwise. Although the properties of the cartridge change over time independent of how many copies have been made, the degree of care taken for the cartridge affects how long it may remain stable.
