Adding Toner

This section explains precautions when adding toner when it has run out, and how to dispose of used toner.

WARNING


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

WARNING


  • Do not store toner (new or used) or toner containers anywhere near naked flames. Doing so risks fire and burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.

WARNING


  • Do not use the cleaner to suck spilled toner (including used toner). Sucked toner may cause firing or explosion due to electrical contact flickering inside the cleaner. However, it is possible to use the cleaner designed for dust explosion-proof purpose. If toner is spilled over the floor, sweep up spilled toner slowly and clean remainder with wet cloth.

CAUTION


  • Do not crush or squeeze toner containers. Doing so can cause toner spillage, possibly resulting in dirtying of skin, clothing, and floor, and accidental ingestion.

CAUTION


  • Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have been in contact with toner out of reach of children.

CAUTION


  • If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.

CAUTION


  • If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.

CAUTION


  • If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.

CAUTION


  • When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your clothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing, wash the stained area with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and make removing the stain impossible.

CAUTION


  • When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your skin. If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.

Important

  • Always replace the toner cartridge when a notification appears on the machine.

  • Fault may occur if you use toner other than the recommended type.

  • When adding toner, do not turn off the main power. Otherwise, settings will be lost.

  • Store toner where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), or high humidity.

  • Store toner on a flat surface.

  • Do not shake the toner cartridge with the opening face down after removing it. Residual toner may scatter.

  • Do not repeatedly install and remove toner cartridges. This will result in toner leakage.

Replace the toner cartridge when the following message appears on the display. Follow the instruction on the screen regarding how to replace the toner cartridge.

"No toner. Replace Toner Cartridge."

When the following message appears, the toner has almost run out. Have a replacement toner cartridge at hand.

"Toner Cartridge is almost empty. Replace Toner Cartridge."

Note

  • If appears when there is still toner in the cartridge, hold the cartridge with the opening face up, shake it well, and then reinstall it.

  • You can check the name of the required toner and the replacement procedure using the [Add Toner] screen.

  • Press the [Check Status] key to check the contact number where you can order supplies. See Checking Printer Status and Settings

Disposing of Used Toner

The following describes what to do with used toner.

Toner cannot be re-used. Pack used toner containers in the container's box or a bag to prevent the toner from leaking out of the container when you dispose of it.

Bring the stored used container to your sales representative or service representative for recycling through our recycling system. If you discard it on your own, treat it as general plastic waste material.
