Toner Storage
Ferromagnetic toners used in the TROY MICR Printer are sensitive to heat and moisture. After your
toner cartridge arrives, it could become damaged if it is not stored in the proper environment. If the
temperature and moisture ranges in your transportation and/or storage area are not within the ranges listed
below, please arrange new transportation or storage locations.
Temperature
Toner should not be stored in temperatures below zero degrees C (-32 degrees F) or above 35 degrees C
(95 degrees F). Toner should not remain at these extremes for 12 hours or longer. Operating temperature
should be between 10 degrees C (50 degrees F) and 32.5 degrees C (91 degrees F). Toner should be
normalized at printing temperature for a minimum of 24 hours prior to use. Do not store toner in direct
sunlight, near a heat source, or in dusty places.
Moisture
Do not store the toner in environments with higher than 65% or lower than 10% relative humidity; or with
extreme changes in humidity. Operating relative humidity should be 20% to 80%.
Toner Recycling
TROY toner cartridges can be returned for recycling into non-MICR applications. Consult the
Installation and Recycling Instruction Guide in the toner cartridge box for additional information.
