When removing the imaging cartridge, avoid exposing it
o
to room light any longer than necessary. The imaging cartridge
contains a light-sensitive drum, which is the green cylinder that
can be seen through the openings of the cartridge. Exposure to
light can damage the drum, causing dark or light areas to appear
on the printed page and reducing the service life of the drum. If
you need to keep the cartridge out of the printer for long periods,
cover it with a cloth.
Avoid pressing on the top of the imaging cartridge. Pressing
o
directly on the cartridge may cause toner to spill into the printer.
If there is a spill, see Chapter 6 for cleaning instructions.
Be sure not to scratch the surface of the drum. When you remove
o
the imaging cartridge from the printer, always
set the cartridge on a clean, smooth surface. Also, avoid touching
the drum, since oils from your skin can permanently damage its
surface and may affect print quality.
Do not turn the cartridge upside down or stand it on its sides.
o
When handling the cartridge, always set it on a clean, smooth
o
surface.
Do not attempt to modify or take apart the cartridge. It cannot be
o
refilled.
