shortens its life. Do not expose the drum to direct sunlight,
and install it within five minutes under typical room lighting
conditions. When removing the drum from its packaging, do
not touch the surface of the drum. Fingerprints and scratches
can damage the surface and cause poor print quality.

slightly over the connection. Let the drum rest on the rubber
rollers as you gently guide it into the printer.
