Printer Parts

If it is good, place it in storage with equipment from the same model.
If we don't have the printer model listed that it came from, but it looks like the same type as something we are keeping, add this model to the list and store it with them.
If it is different than other equipment we are storing, find out if we want to keep it.
If we want to keep it, make a new area for the equipment and start a new model list with the model printer it came from.

Laser Printer Toner

Remove Toner and store it per Printer Parts
If there is an area for this type of toner, see if it feels lighter than other toner we have.
Toner that is really light is probably empty and we won't keep it.
Toner we are not keeping gets placed in the bin for refills.

Laser Printer Fuser

Remove Fuser and store it per "Printer Parts"
If it has badly worn or missing teeth on the drive gear then it gets recycled
If it has a good drive gear we will keep it.

RAM modules

Remove any RAM modules and store per "Printer Parts"
If we don't have an area for this model printer make sure the modules are the same speed/type as others you put it with and not just the same shape.

Mainboard Modules

If it can be easily pulled, remove the Mainboard and store per "Printer Parts"
If the printer was evaluated to have a bad mainboard, recycle it.

Paper Tray/Add on Paper Drawer

Pull the paper tray and store per "Printer Parts"
If it has an additional paper feed drawer that is removable pull it and store per "Printer Parts"
