Always observe the following handling precautions when replacing the consumable products:

  • 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 cartridge, always place them on a clean smooth surface.

  • 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 consumable products out of the reach of children.

  • Do not dispose of used consumable products 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.
