Most of the imaging components of a laser printer are concentrated in the toner cartridge. The quality of printing depends largely on the quality of the toner cartridge, and the photosensitive drum is the core component.
But do you know? If we are not careful during use, even small movements may reduce the lifespan of the toner cartridge. So how can we maximize the life of the toner cartridge? Next, we will introduce you 6 tips!
1. Storage environment
The most taboo thing about toner cartridges is strong light. Strong light will change the surface material of the photosensitive drum, causing it to be unable to absorb enough toner. It may also accelerate the aging of the organic photoconductor drum and cause permanent damage.
At the same time, the storage environment of the toner cartridge should also avoid high temperature, humidity, and cold to reduce the possibility of the environment affecting the printing effect. Therefore, the correct approach is to place the toner cartridge in a cool and dry place to ensure normal temperature and ventilation.
2. Correct placement
For unopened toner cartridges, pay attention to placing them correctly and orderly in the direction marked on the packaging, and avoid random squeezing or stacking. This is more conducive to the preservation of toner cartridges and convenient for taking.
3. Do not pull the seal before use
The function of the toner cartridge seal is to maintain the sealing of the toner cartridge. If the seal is torn off before use, it is easy to cause the toner to become damp and clump or leak, affecting the quality of printing and not conducive to the long-term use of the printer cartridge. Therefore, please pull out the seal of the toner cartridge when installing and using it.
4. Avoid direct touch when replacing
The photosensitive drum is one of the core components of toner cartridge. To maintain the best printing effect of the toner cartridge and extend its life, avoid touching and rotating the organic photoconductor drum directly with your hands when installing and replacing the toner cartridge. This will prevent foreign matter such as dust from being left on the surface of the OPC drum, or damage the OPC drum, affecting the printing life and quality.
5. Clean up waste toner regularly
After long-term use, waste powder in the waste toner collection bin continues to accumulate. If you continue to use without removing the waste toner, it will accumulate and the friction pressure with the photosensitive drum will increase, eventually wearing off the coating on the surface of the OPC drum, thus damaging the entire toner cartridge.
6. Choose high-quality paper
Using inferior paper for a long time will cause wear on the toner cartridge, because inferior paper has a lot of dust, and the dust is adsorbed on the surface of the OPC drum. The friction increases during use, greatly reducing the life of the toner cartridge.
Summary:
If you follow the above 6 points, it can help you extend the lifespan of your printer toner cartridges.
