Replacing the Toner Cartridge

• If any tape remains in the toner cartridge, this may result in poor print quality.
• If you are using the Fax, please note that you can only print the received data once, because the received data is deleted once it is printed.

Precautions When Replacing the Toner Cartridge

WARNING

Do not dispose of a used toner cartridge in an open flame.

• This may ignite the toner remaining inside the cartridge, resulting in burns or fire.

When cleaning up spilled or scattered toner:

• If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation.
• Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.

CAUTION

Precautions to take when you get toner onto your hands or clothing:

• If toner comes in contact with your hands or clothing, wash them immediately in cold water. Do not use warm water, as it will set the toner and make it difficult to remove the toner stains.

Do not allow the toner to scatter.

• Do not pull out the sealing tape forcefully or stop pulling the tape halfway, as this may cause toner to spill out.
• If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, flush them immediately with cold water and consult a physician.

Precautions when lowering the upper unit:
