Laser Printer Precautions

If you must expose the drum either by taking the imaging cartridge out of the printer or by leaving the printer cover open, cover the drum with a soft cloth or sheet of paper.

•Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove the imaging cartridge from the printer, always set the cartridge on a clean, smooth surface. Also, avoid touching the drum, since oils from your skin can permanently damage its surface and may affect print quality.

•Avoid pressing on the top of the toner cartridge. Pressing directly on the cartridge may cause toner to spill into the printer. If there is a spill, see Chapter 6 for cleaning instructions.

•Never try to force the printer’s components into place. Although the printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage it.
