Preventing problems with laser printers

• Toner cartridges can open in transit and create a mess. Always ship them in their protective sealed packaging and separately from the printer.

• Be sure to take the time to clean the corona wire and the roller every time you change the print cartridge.

• Laser printers need to dissipate a lot of heat. Give them adequate ventilation.

• Refilled toner cartridges work fine and save money, as long as they have only been refilled once. After that, they can become unreliable. Patronize only reputable vendors that you know refill them only once.

• Be careful when using envelopes and address labels in laser printers that are not intended for laser use. If the glue melts during fusion, there could be expensive damage.
