Storage of supplies
Proper storage
1. Store the supplies in a location that is:
• clean and dry,
• at a stable temperature,
• not exposed to direct sunlight.
2. Store paper in the wrapper and lying flat.
3. Paper stored in packages standing up or out of the wrapper may
curl or become damp, resulting in paper misfeeds.
Storing toner cartridges
Store a new toner cartridge box horizontally with the top side up. Do
not store a toner cartridge standing on end. If stored standing on
end, the toner may not distribute well even after shaking the cartridge
vigorously, and will remain inside the cartridge without flowing out.

information only and does not include time for transmission control. The
actual time needed for a transmission depends on the content of the text,
