Replacing the Print Cartridge

This section explains precautions to add 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.

  • 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.

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.

  • 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.

  • Some of this machine’s components get damaged on contact. Do not touch the sensors, connectors, or other fragile parts that are shown in this manual when replacing consumables. Otherwise, a malfunction might occur.

Important

  • Always replace the print cartridge when a notification appears on the display. When the black toner runs out, printing of any type becomes impossible until you replace the print cartridge. You can print only in black and white after any of the cyan, magenta, or yellow toner runs out. Keep the empty print cartridge attached until you replace it with a new print cartridge.

  • Errors may occur if you use toner other than the recommended one.

  • 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 rise above 35 °C (95 °F), or high humidity.

  • Store toner on a flat surface.

  • Do not shake the print cartridge with its mouth down after removing it. Residual toner may scatter.

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

  • Do not touch the shutter on the bottom side of the print cartridge.
