Before Using the Machine
Maintaining the Cartridge
Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The
magnet inside the cartridge may harm these items.
Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in
temperature.
Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five minutes.
Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install
the cartridge in the machine.
Save the toner cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the
cartridge at a later date.
Do not store the cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases such
as from aerosol sprays.
Do not remove the cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
Do not open the drum protective shutter on the cartridge. Print quality may deteriorate if
the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
Always hold the cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective shutter.
Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes
caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by shaking the
cartridge.
If there is a toner powder leakage, make sure not to inhale or touch the toner powder. If it
comes in contact with your skin, rinse with cold water using soap. If you feel an irritation
on your skin or inhale the powder, consult a doctor immediately.
When removing the cartridge from the machine, make sure to remove it carefully. If not
removed with care, the toner powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes
and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor immediately.
Keep the cartridge away from small children. If they ingest the toner powder, consult a
doctor immediately.
Do not disassemble the cartridge. The toner powder may scatter and come in contact
with your eyes and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor
immediately.
Do not place the cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
