Replacing Other Consumables

Refer to the maintenance guide provided with the new items for the replacement.

WARNING


  • 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


  • 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.


  • The fusing unit becomes very hot. When installing a new fusing unit, turn off the machine and wait at least an hour after power off before replacing parts. Not allowing the machine to cool may result in burns.


  • 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.
