How should I store the cartridge if I am not using it yet?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, power off the printer, open the access door, and remove the old cartridge. Carefully remove the new Alpa-Cartridge from its packaging, gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner, and remove the protective seal. Slide the cartridge into the designated slot until it clicks securely into place. This cartridge is compatible with HP LaserJet models: P2030, P2035, P2035N, P2055D, P2055DN, and P2055X. Store in a cool, dry place and ensure the cartridge is kept horizontal to prevent internal toner shifting during storage.
