Replace the toner cartridge with a new one
Precautions when Replacing Toner Cartridges
WARNING
Do not dispose of a used toner cartridge in open flames.
This may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or fire.
CAUTION
Precautions if you get toner on your hands or clothing
If toner gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately with cold water.
Washing with warm water sets the toner, making it impossible to remove the toner stains.
