Replacing Toner Cartridges
Precautions for Handling Toner Cartridges
A toner cartridge consists of light-sensitive components and intricate mechanical
components. Handling the toner cartridge without due care may lead to damage to
the toner cartridge or deterioration in print quality. Be careful of the following points
when removing or installing the toner cartridge.
WARNING
Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
CAUTION
Take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or
clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash
them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner
and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
IMPORTANT
• When you take the toner cartridge out of the printer for servicing the printer, place the
toner cartridge into the original protective bag, or wrap it with a thick cloth immediately.
• When replacing a toner cartridge, be sure to replace the toner cartridge of the same
color.
• Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or strong light.
• Print quality may deteriorate if you touch or damage the photosensitive drum inside the
toner cartridge. Be sure not to touch or open the drum protective shutter (A). Also, be
careful not to hold or touch areas that are not specified in this procedure, such as the
electrical contact (B) or sensors (C). This may result in damage to the cartridge.
