2.2INSTALLING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

Important Notice

Install the toner cartridge immediately after opening the aluminum bag. Permanent damage can be caused by exposing light to the photosensitive drum. NEVER expose the cartridge to the strong light (more than 15000 Iux) or room lighting (1000 IUX)for more than five minutes.

Do not open the drum’s protective shutter on the toner cartridge.

Keep the cartridge away from CRTs, disk drives, diskettes, etc. Other- wise, CRTs and disk drives can be damaged, and data on diskettes can be destroyed by the magnetic force inside the cartridge.

When handling the cartridge, do not touch the bottom of the toner cartridge. Print quality will be adversely affected if the protective shutter is open and the drum is damaged. The drum can also be damaged if it is exposed to light.

Always keep the toner cartridge with the label facing up. Do not turn it upside down or stand it on end. The toner may become caked, and this causes print quality to deteriorate.

Use the cartridge before the expiration date printed on the carton. Otherwise print quality may deteriorate.

Use only genuine Star toner cartridge, EP-40XA.

Dispose of your used toner cartridge as a noninflammable item.
