Installing the Toner Cartridge
The following procedure describes how to install the toner cartridge.
Do not incinerate spilled toner or used toner. Toner dust is flammable and might ignite when exposed to an open flame.
Disposal should take place at an authorized dealer or an appropriate collection site.
If you dispose of the used toner cartridges yourself, dispose of them according to local regulations.
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 toner (used or unused) and the toner cartridge 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 your skin comes into contact with toner or used toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
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.
When you first use this printer, use the four toner cartridges packaged with the
printer.
The toner cartridges that comes with the printer will allow you to print up to
about 3,000 pages. These numbers were obtained from printing A4 K5% charts, but the actual number of pages will vary depending on the paper type, size, contents, and settings.
The toner cartridge for replacement comes in two types for different number
of printable pages: 15,000 pages and 5,000 pages.
