❏Never force the printer’s components into place. Although the

printer is designed to be sturdy, rough handling can damage

it.

❏When removing the developer cartridge, never touch the

developing roller under the flap; otherwise, print quality will

decline.

❏Do not turn the cartridge upside down or stand it on its ends.

❏Always set the cartridge down on a clean, smooth surface.

❏Do not attempt to modify the cartridge or take it apart. It

cannot be refilled.

❏Do not touch the toner and avoid all contact with your eyes.

❏When removing or installing a photoconductor unit, protect

the light-sensitive drum from exposure to light any longer

than necessary. The light-sensitive drum is the green cylinder

visible through the openings in the unit. Overexposing the

drum might cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear

on the printed page and may shorten the service life of the

unit.

❏Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you

remove the photoconductor unit from the printer, always

place the unit on a clean, smooth surface. Avoid touching the

drum, as oils from your skin can permanently damage its

surface and affect print quality.

❏To get the best print quality, do not store the photoconductor

unit in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or

corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to

extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

❏Wait for at least one hour before using a developer cartridge

or a photoconductor unit after moving it from a cool to a warm

environment to prevent damage from condensation.

❏Do not leave jammed paper in the printer. It can cause the

printer to overheat.
