Drum Cartridge
Handling Precautions
• Make sure nothing touches or scratches the light-sensitive drum surface (blue colored
part) or transfer roller (black colored part). Scratches, dirt, or oil from your hands on the
drum or transfer roller deteriorates print quality.
• Do not expose the drum cartridge to direct sunlight and avoid exposing the drum cartridge
to fluorescent indoor light, as this may result in dropouts or dirty printing.
• When replacing the drum cartridge, work on a desk or other flat surface to avoid scratch-
ing the light-sensitive drum and transfer roller.
• Avoid removing the drum cartridge from the printer before it is time to replace it. Remov-
ing and replacing the drum cartridge can cause dirt to stick to the cartridge and deteriorate
print quality.
• Avoid tilting or shaking the drum cartridge when removing it, as toner may spill inside the
printer and cause damage.
• To ensure good print quality, keep the drum cartridge level when handling it.
• The drum cartridge weighs 10 lb. (4.5 kg). Handle it carefully.
• Wrap used drum cartridges in a plastic bag and dispose of them as non-burnable waste.
Storage Precautions
• Do not unpack the new drum cartridge until you are ready to install it. If the drum car-
tridge is unpacked put it in its aluminum package for storage.
• Store drum cartridges away from direct sunlight under the following conditions:
• Ambient temperature range, 32 to 95˚F (0 to 35˚C); humidity range, 15 to 80 % RH (no
condensation)
• Avoid storing in hot humid areas.
