Replacing the Print Cartridge

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

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

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.

Do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove spilled toner (including used toner). Absorbed toner may cause a fire or explosion due to electrical contact flickering inside the vacuum cleaner. However, it is possible to use a vacuum cleaner that is explosion-proof and dust ignition-proof. If toner is spilled on the floor, remove the spilled toner slowly using a wet cloth, so that the toner is not scattered.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

Actual printable numbers vary depending on image volume and density, number of pages printed at a time, paper type and size, and environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Toner quality degrades over time. Early replacement of the print cartridge might be necessary. Therefore, we recommend you always keep a new print cartridge ready.
The print cartridge might need to be replaced even if there is toner remaining in it. This is due to depletion or wear of other components.
Do not allow paper clips, staples, or other small metallic objects to fall inside the printer.
Do not expose the print cartridge without its cover to direct sunlight for a long time.
When removing print cartridge, be careful not to drop it.
Store print cartridges in a cool dark place.
