Toner Cartridge

Handling precautions

Always observe the following handling precautions when replacing toner cartridges.

• Installing a genuine toner cartridge is recommended. Using a non-genuine toner cartridge may affect print quality. EPSON shall not be liable for any damages or problems arising from the use of consumable products not manufactured or approved by EPSON.

• When handling toner cartridges, always place them on a clean smooth surface.

• Do not install used toner cartridges into the printer.

• If you have moved a toner cartridge from a cool to a warm environment, wait for at least one hour before installing it to prevent damage from condensation.

Warning:

Do not touch the toner. Keep the toner away from your eyes. If toner gets on your skin or clothes, wash it off with soap and water immediately.

Keep toner cartridges out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in fire, as they may explode and cause injury. Dispose of them according to local regulations.

If toner is spilled, use a broom and dustpan or a damp cloth with soap and water to clean it up. Because the fine particles can cause a fire or explosion if they come into contact with a spark, do not use a vacuum cleaner.
