Replacing the Waste Toner Bottle

WARNING

  • Do not incinerate toner (new or used) or toner containers. Doing so risks burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.

WARNING

  • Keep the polythene materials (bags, gloves, etc.) supplied with this machine away from babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can result if polythene materials are brought into contact with the mouth or nose.

WARNING

  • Wait for 30 minutes or more after disconnecting the power plug before removing the paper transfer unit.

CAUTION

  • Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.

CAUTION

  • The inside of the machine could be very hot. Do not touch the parts with a label indicating the "hot surface". Otherwise, an injury might occur.

Important

  • Waste toner bottles cannot be reused.

  • Purchasing and storing extra waste toner bottles is recommended.

  • If the bypass tray is open, close it before pulling out Tray 1.

  • When removing the waste toner bottle, make sure not to tilt it.

  • Keep the waste toner bottle horizontal as you take it out.

  • Make sure that the paper transfer unit is installed. If the paper transfer unit is not installed, install it before turning the power on.

  • Cooperate with the waste toner bottle Recycling Program, whereby used waste toner bottles are collected for recycling.

  • Before removing the waste toner bottle from the printer, spread paper or some other material around the area to keep toner from dirtying your workspace.
