    2. Toner cartridge(s) must be removed from the unit and packed separately or in a plastic bag for shipping.
    3. Shipping tape that is 2-3 inches wide should be used. We do not recommend using masking or cellophane tape. Tape all edges on the sides, top ad bottom to make sure there are no rough edges that could be snagged by automated mail processing equipment.
    4. Attach the prepaid shipping label to the outside of the package. Use a piece of clear shipping tape over the top of the label. It is important to use our shipping label, as it will be used to expedite tracking, identification and increase the speed of your return.
