Handling the Consumable Products and Maintenance Parts

  • Do not burn used consumable products and maintenance parts because they might explode and injure someone. Dispose of them according to local regulations.

  • Be sure to keep consumable products and maintenance parts out of the reach of children.

  • When handling a toner cartridge, always place it on a clean, smooth surface.

  • Do not attempt to modify or take it apart consumable products and maintenance parts.

  • Do not touch the toner. Always keep toner away from your eyes. If toner gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately.

  • If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.

  • Wait at least one hour before using a toner cartridge after moving it from a cool to a warm environment to prevent damage from condensation.

  • To get the best print quality, do not store the toner cartridge in an area subject to direct sunlight, dust, salty air, or corrosive gases (such as ammonia). Avoid locations subject to extreme or rapid changes in temperature or humidity.

  • Do not touch the transfer roller to avoid damaging it.

  • Do not let the paper’s edge slide across your skin because the edge of the paper may cut you.
