Precautions when pulling out the sealing tape
- Do not pull the sealing tape at an angle or up and down. If the tape breaks, it may not be pulled out completely.
- If the sealing tape is still hanging outside the toner cartridge, pull it out completely. If the tape remains inside the toner cartridge, it may cause poor print quality. If you are using the Fax, please note that you can only print the received data once, because the received data is deleted once it is printed.
- Dispose of the sealing tape according to local regulations.
7. Insert the toner cartridge.
Fit (A) on both sides of the toner cartridge into the guides located on both sides of the machine and slide the toner cartridge into the machine until the toner cartridge comes to rest and is held against the back of the machine.
8. Close the front cover.
NOTE
If you cannot close the front cover
- Make sure that the toner cartridge is installed correctly. Do not try to forcefully close the toner cover, as this may damage the machine.
WARNING
Do not dispose of a used toner cartridge in an open flame.
- This may ignite the toner remaining inside the cartridge, resulting in burns or fire.
When cleaning up spilled or scattered toner:
- If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.
CAUTION
Precautions to take when you get toner onto your hands or clothing
- If toner comes in contact with your hands or clothing, wash them immediately in cold water. Do not use warm water, as it will set the toner and make it difficult to remove the toner stains.
Do not allow the toner to scatter.
- Do not pull out the sealing tape forcefully or stop pulling the tape halfway, as this may cause toner to spill out. If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, flush them immediately with cold water and consult a physician.
