Introduction

❐If you ship the printer, remove and ship the developer unit (and the waste toner bottle) separately. The printer is originally supplied with a shipping container specifically de- signed for the developer unit. Pack the developer unit in this container and the waste toner bottle in the plastic bag obtainable from a toner kit and ship them separate from the printer itself. Be sure to consult a serviceman before attempting long-distance transportation of the printer.
