Storing the Toner Cartridge
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its packaging until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of an unopened cartridge package is approximately 2 1⁄2 years of storage including usage; the maximum shelf life of an opened cartridge package is approximately six months including usage.
Use the toner cartridge before the expiration date which is printed on its shipping box.
Always store cartridges:
•As specified on the shipping box, or horizontally (flat) if removed from the box.
•In a normal office environment (for example, a location with regulated temperature and humidity).
•Away from direct sunlight or other strong light.
