3. PRECAUTIONS FOR STORING AND HANDLING SUPPLIES
3.1
Precautions for Storing Toshiba Supplies
A. Toner and Developer
Toner and developer should be stored in a place where the ambient temperature is below 35°C (95°F)
and should also be protected against direct sunlight during transportation.
B. OPC Drum
Similarly to the toner and developer, OPC drums should be stored in a dark place where the ambient
temperature is below 35°C. Be sure to avoid those places where drums may be subjected to high
humidity, chemicals and/or their fumes.
C. Cleaning Blade and Cleaning Felt
These items should be stored in a flat place where the ambient temperature is below 35°C and should
also be protected against high humidity, chemicals and/or their fumes.
D. Heat Roller and Pressure Roller
Avoid those places where heat rollers may be subjected to high humidity, chemicals and/or their
fumes.
E. Copy Paper
Avoid storing copy paper in a place where the humidity is high.
After a package is opened, be sure to place and store it in a storage bag.
3.2
Inspecting and Cleaning OPC Drum
A. Precautions for Handling
(1) Use of gloves
If fingerprints or oils adhere to the drum surface (which degrades the characteristics of the photo-
conductor), this affects the quality of the copy image; therefore, do not touch the drum surface with
your bare hands.
(2) Removing and reinstalling drums
Since the OPC drum surface is very sensitive, be sure to handle the drum carefully when installing
and removing it so as not damage its surface.
Be sure to apply patting powder (lubricant) to the entire surface of the drum before installing the
drum into the machine.
Notes:
1.
Application of the patting powder is to reduce the friction between the drum and cleaning
blade. If the application of patting powder is neglected, the drum and cleaning blade may be
damaged.
2.
When paper fibers adhere to the cleaning blade edge, they may reduce the cleaning effi-
ciency and, in addition, may damage the blade and the drum. So, if any fibers are found
adhering to the blade, be sure to remove them carefully using a soft pad.
