Handling the machine’s supplies

This section explains safety precautions about handling the machine's supplies.

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.
  • The following explains the warning messages on the plastic bag used in this product's packaging.
    • Keep the polythene materials (bags, 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.

CAUTION

  • The fusing unit becomes extremely hot during operation. To prevent minor burns, allow the machine to cool for at least 30 minutes before you remove the replaceable parts of fusing unit.
  • The fusing unit weighs approximately around 34.6 kg (76.3 lb).
  • When moving the fusing unit, lift it slowly and be careful not to strain yourself. Careless handling or over-exertion when lifting can result in breakage of the unit or injury to yourself.
  • 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.
  • When replacing a toner or waste toner container or consumables with toner, make sure that the toner does not splatter. Put the waste consumables in a bag after they are removed. For consumables with a lid, make sure that the lid is shut.
  • Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of conductive paper. Doing so risks fire.
  • Keep SD cards or USB flash memory devices out of reach of children. If a child accidentally swallows an SD card or USB flash memory device, consult a doctor immediately.
  • When binding paper manually with ring opener, take care not to trap or injure fingers.
