Toner Cartridge Distribution
∙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. White areas on the page may indicate that the drum has been exposed to light for too long. If white areas appear, stop the printer and wait a few minutes. This process should eliminate most defective images. If not, the toner may be placed in a dark environment for an extended period of time, which may restore some life to the drum.
∙Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse directions; internal damage and toner spills may result.
∙Do not install the toner cartridge in the printer for shipping.
