Hold the drum cartridge properly.
When handling the drum cartridge, hold it properly as shown in the figure. Do not place it vertically or upside-down.
Do not touch the electrical contacts (A), the drum cartridge memory (B), and the development roller (C).
If you touch the electrical contacts (A) or the drum cartridge memory (B), this may result in damage to the printer.
Also, print quality may deteriorate if you touch or damage the photosensitive drum (C). Do not touch with your hands.
Other precautions
Do not expose drum cartridges to direct sunlight or strong light.
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify drum cartridges.
Condensation (water droplets on the inside or outside) may form on the drum cartridge when it is brought into an environment with a sudden change in temperature or humidity.
When moving a new drum cartridge to a location with change in temperature, leave the cartridge in the protective bag at the new location for two or more hours to allow it to adjust to the new temperature.
Do not leave the top cover or front cover open for a long time.
