Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Follow the recommendations in this section to ensure the highest quality and longest life of HP toner cartridges.
Keep the printer within the following environmental conditions for optimum performance.
Storage Conditions
The toner cartridge is affected by its environment. Packaging protects the toner cartridge from light and increases its storage life. It is important to store the cartridge in its original packaging until the cartridge is ready to be installed in the printer.
When storing the toner cartridge in a warehouse or work area, make sure the storage place meets the conditions specified in Table
Storing Opened Toner Cartridges
Because the cartridge does not have a shutter to cover the laser beam access slot, it should be kept inside the printer until empty. Toner cartridges which have had the toner sealing tape removed are also more vulnerable to environmental extremes (such as high humidity).
If the toner cartridge must be removed from the printer, always store the cartridge:
| ∙ Inside the protective bag in which it was originally packaged. | |
| ∙ In a dark cabinet, away from direct sunlight. | |
| ∙ Correct side up and in a horizontal position (not standing on end). | |
| ∙ At a temperature between 32° to 104° F (0° and 40° C). | |
| ∙ Away from ammonia or other organic solvent fumes. | |

C a u t i o n |
| Never ship the printer with a toner cartridge installed. Excessive vibration during |
|
| shipping can cause toner to leak, contaminating the printer. Never expose the toner |
|
| cartridge to direct sunlight or to room light for more than a few minutes. Bright |
|
| light and direct sunlight can permanently damage a toner cartridge. |
