Toner cartridge information
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light,
temperature, and humidity. Follow the recommendations in this
section to ensure the highest quality and longest life of HP toner
cartridges.
Keep the HP LaserJet 3100/3150 product within the following
environmental conditions for optimum performance.
Storage conditions
Toner cartridges are affected by their environment. Packaging
protects toner cartridges from light and increases storage life. It is
important to store cartridges in their original packaging until ready for
installation.
When storing cartridges in a warehouse or work area, make sure the
storage place meets the conditions specified in Table 6.
Storing opened toner cartridges
Because cartridges do not have shutters to cover the laser beam
access slot, they should be kept inside the HP LaserJet 3100/3150
product until empty. Toner cartridges that have had the toner sealing
tape removed are also more vulnerable to environmental extremes.
If a toner cartridge must be removed from the HP LaserJet 3100/3150
product, always store the cartridge:
● Inside the protective bag in which it was originally packaged.
● In a dark cabinet, away from direct sunlight.
● Correct side up and in a horizontal position (not standing on end).
● Away from ammonia or organic solvent fumes.
CAUTION Never ship the HP LaserJet 3100/3150 product with a toner cartridge
installed. Excessive vibration during shipping can cause toner to leak,
contaminating the product and possibly damaging the drum. Never
expose a cartridge to direct sunlight or to room light for more than a
few minutes. Bright light can permanently damage a toner cartridge.
