Store drum units in a location away from light sources such as direct sunlight. Storing the drum unit in a room that is cold but rapidly heated, or has other rapid temperature changes, causes water droplets (condensation) to form inside it. Do not remove the orange-colored protective cover until you are instructed to do so in the following procedure. |
