About a new toner cartridge
Do not take a new toner cartridge out of the protective bag until it is ready to be used.
NOTE
About condensation
Even within the storable humidity range, water droplets may develop both inside and outside toner cartridges due to the difference in temperature. The formation of water droplets is called condensation.
Condensation will adversely affect the quality of toner cartridges.
