WARNING
- Do not dispose of used toner cartridges and drum units in open flames. Also, do not store toner cartridges, drum units or paper in a location exposed to open flames. This may cause the toner to ignite, and result in burns or fire.
- If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully wipe up the loose toner with a damp, soft cloth and avoid inhaling any toner dust. Do not use a vacuum cleaner that is not equipped with safety measures to prevent dust explosions to clean up loose toner. Doing so may cause damage to the vacuum cleaner or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.
If you are using a cardiac pacemaker
- Drum units generate a low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from toner cartridges and consult your physician immediately.

- Keep the toner cartridges, drum units, and other consumables out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested, consult a physician or poison control center immediately.
