Requirements for Handling Supplies
WARNING
• Do not store toner (new or used) or toner containers while toner is inside in a
place with an open flame. The toner can ignite and result in burns or fire.
• The following explains the warning messages on the plastic bag used in this
product's packaging:
• Do not leave the polythene materials (bags, etc.) supplied with this
machine close to babies and small children. Suffocation can result if
polythene materials are brought into contact with the mouth or nose.
• Do not dispose of the following items into a fire. Toner will ignite on contact
with naked flame and burns can result.
• Toner (new or used)
• Toner containers while toner is inside
• Toner-attached parts
• Do not absorb spilled toner (including used toner) using a vacuum cleaner.
Absorbed toner may cause ignition or explosion due to electric contact
sparks inside the vacuum cleaner. However, you can use a toner-compatible
industrial vacuum cleaner. When toner is spilled, remove the spilled toner
using a wet cloth so that the toner is not scattered.
CAUTION
• Do not open toner containers forcibly while toner is inside, crush or squeeze
them. Toner spillage can cause accidental ingestion or dirtying of clothes,
hands, or floor.
• Do not leave the following items in a place where children can reach them:
• Toner (new or used)
• Toner containers while toner is inside
• Toner-attached parts
• When removing jammed paper, replenishing or replacing toner (new or used),
make sure not to inhale toner.
CAUTION
• When the following occurs while toner is handled, receive emergency
measures first, and then consult a doctor if necessary.
• When inhaling toner, gargle with a large amount of water and move into
a fresh air environment.
• When swallowing toner, dilute gastric contents with a large amount of
water.
• When getting toner into your eyes, flush them with a large amount of
water.
• When removing jammed paper, replenishing or replacing toner (new or used),
be careful not to have toner dirt your skin or clothes.
• If toner (new or used) comes into contact with your skin or clothes and smears
them, take the following actions:
• If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area
thoroughly with soap and water.
• If toner comes into contact with your clothes, wash the stained area with
cold water. Heating the stained area by applying hot water will set the
toner into the fabric and removing the stain may become impossible.
• When replacing a container with toner (including used toner) or consumables
with toner, be careful that the toner does not splatter. After removing used
consumables and shutting the lid of the container if the lid is available, put
them in a bag.
