Toner Cartridge and Image Drum Unit Handling
•Leave unused toner cartridges and image drum units in their packages until needed.
•When replacing a toner cartridge or image drum unit, re- use the packaging to dispose of the old toner cartridge or image drum unit.
•Do not expose these components to light for more than five minutes.
•Never expose the green drum (inside the image drum unit) to direct sunlight.
•Always hold the image drum unit by the ends, never by the middle.
•Never touch the surface of the green drum inside the image drum unit.
•Be careful when removing the toner cartridge. Do not let it touch your clothing or porous materials. The toner powder causes permanent stains.
•Small amounts of toner spilled on skin or clothing can be readily removed with soap and cold water. Using heated water will make removing the stain much more difficult.
