Imaging Cartridge

Handling precautions

Always observe the following handling precautions when replacing the imaging cartridge.

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 the imaging cartridge, always place it on a clean smooth surface.

Do not install a 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 drum's protective cover and avoid exposing an imaging cartridge to room light any longer than necessary. Overexposing the cartridge may cause abnormally dark or light areas to appear on the printer 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 the imaging cartridge out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of a used imaging cartridge in fire, as it may explode and cause injury. Dispose of it 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.
