Operating Environment
The environmental requirements listed in the table below must be maintained to ensure the proper operation of this printer.
Table 2-1 Environmental Requirements
LaserJet 5L/6L & Cartridge Temperature Humidity Operating 50 to 90.5° F (10 to 32.5° C) 20 to 80% RH (with no condensation) Storage
Site 2 Requirements
32 to 104° F (0 to 40° C) 10 to 80% RH (with no condensation)
Consider the following points before installing the printer:
· Install in a well-ventilated, dust-free area. · Install on a hard, flat and continuous surface, with all four printer feet level. Do
not install on carpet or other soft surfaces.
· Ensure adequate power is supplied. Printer power requirements are listed under
"Specifications," in Chapter 1. Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) should not be used with this printer.
· Install away from direct sunlight, open flames, or ammonia fumes. If the printer
is placed near a window, make sure the window has a curtain or blind to block any direct sunlight.
· Install with enough space around the printer for proper access and ventilation.
(See Figure 2-1.)
· Install printer away from the direct flow of exhaust from air ventilation systems.

The HP C3906A/F Toner Cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Follow the recommendations in this section to ensure the highest quality and longest life of HP toner cartridges. Keep the printer within the following environmental conditions for optimum performance.
Storage Conditions
The toner cartridge is affected by its environment. Packaging protects the toner cartridge from light and increases its storage life. It is important to store the cartridge in its original packaging until the cartridge is ready to be installed in the printer. When storing the toner cartridge in a warehouse or work area, make sure the storage place meets the conditions specified in Table 2-1.
Site 2 Requirements
Storing Opened Toner Cartridges
Because the cartridge does not have a shutter to cover the laser beam access slot, it should be kept inside the printer until empty. Toner cartridges which have had the toner sealing tape removed are also more vulnerable to environmental extremes (such as high humidity). If the toner cartridge must be removed from the printer, always store the cartridge:
· · · · ·
Caution
Inside the protective bag in which it was originally packaged. In a dark cabinet, away from direct sunlight. Correct side up and in a horizontal position (not standing on end). At a temperature between 32° to 104° F (0° and 40° C). Away from ammonia or other organic solvent fumes.
Never ship the printer with a toner cartridge installed. Excessive vibration during shipping can cause toner to leak, contaminating the printer. Never expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or to room light for more than a few minutes. Bright light and direct sunlight can permanently damage a toner cartridge. The C3906F toner cartridge is designed specifically for use in the environmental conditions of the Asia Pacific region and is only available in that region.
