Handling the machine's supplies

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

Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame. Dispose of used toner containers in accordance with local regulations.

Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame.

Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an open flame. The toner might ignite and cause burns or a fire.

Keep the polythene materials (bags, gloves, 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.

Do not reuse stapled paper. Otherwise, a fire might occur.

To avoid fire or machine failure, do not use aluminum foil, carbon paper, or similar conductive paper.

Do not open toner containers forcefully. Toner can spill, dirtying your clothes or hands, and possibly resulting in accidental ingestion.

Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers 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.

Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner. If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.
