Handling precautions

Always observe the following handling precautions when replacing the consumable products:

The photoconductor unit weighs 3.0 kg (6.6 lb). Be sure to hold it firmly by the handle when carrying it.

When replacing the photoconductor unit, avoid exposing it to light any longer than necessary.

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the drum and belt. Also, avoid touching the drum, since oil from your skin may 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.

Do not tilt the photoconductor unit.

Warning:

Do not dispose of the used consumable products in fire, as they may explode and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.

Keep consumable products out of the reach of children.
