Handling precautions
Replacing an imaging cartridge

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

• Installing a genuine imaging cartridge is recommended. Using a non-genuine imaging 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 imaging cartridge, always place them on a clean smooth surface.

• Do not install used imaging cartridge into the printer.

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

• Do not open the imaging cartridge protective cover and avoid exposing it to light any longer than necessary. Overexposing the cartridge may cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear on the printed page and reduce the life of the cartridge.

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.
