About The Toner Cartridge - NEC 1260 - SuperScript - Printer User Manual

Chapter 8: Maintaining Your Printer
After redistributing the toner, continue using the
cartridge if the output quality has improved.
Note: If your output continues to be too
light, it is time to replace the toner
cartridge. (Refer to "Replacing the Toner
Cartridge" later in this chapter.)

About the Toner Cartridge

Follow these toner cartridge handling and storage
guidelines to ensure the best performance from
your printer.
Handling the Toner Cartridge
•Do not place the toner cartridge on end or
upside down.
•Do not expose the toner cartridge to any
light for longer than 5 minutes.
•To protect the toner cartridge from light
exposure, return it to the aluminum bag it
came in or cover it with a thick, black cloth.
•If you move the toner cartridge from a cold
location to a warm location, wait at least one
hour before installing it in the printer.
•Do not open the drum shutter.
•Do not touch the drum surface.
8-4 NEC SuperScript 1260 User's Guide
•Do not shake the toner cartridge after you
have removed the sealing tape.
•Do not try to disassemble the toner cartridge.
•Dry toner is harmless. If you get any on your
hands, wash your hands with cold water to
remove it. Do not use hot water. Hot water
sets the dry toner.
•Dispose of used toner cartridges as nonflam-
mables. Put the used cartridge in an empty
box or plastic bag.
•Better yet, recycle by putting the old toner
cartridge into your new NEC 1260 Super-
Script toner cartridge box and apply the
provided mailing label.
WARNING! Do not dispose of a toner
cartridge by burning.
Storing the Toner Cartridge
•Do not store the toner cartridge on end or
upside down.
•Do not store the toner cartridge in strong
light.
•Do not store the toner cartridge near a com-
puter display or floppy disk drive. The toner
cartridge has magnetic properties that may
interfere with these devices.
