Maintaining Your Copier Adding Toner When D is displayed, it is time to add toner. When the indicator starts blinking, you can still copy about 53 feet of paper (16 m, 27 81/2"×11" size copies). When the indicator stays on, you can't copy until a new cartridge is installed. R WARNING: • Do not incinerate used toner, toner bottle or toner cartridge. • Toner dust might ignite when exposed to an open flame. • Dispose of the used toner and the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. 4 R CAUTION: • Do not eat or swallow toner. • Keep toner (used or unused), toner bottle, and toner cartridge out of reach of children. R CAUTION: • This machine has been tested for safety using this supplier's parts and consumables. We recommend you only use these specified supplies. Note ❒ If you use toner other than that recommended, a fault might occur. ❒ When adding toner, do not turn off the main switch. If you do, your settings will be cleared. ❒ Always add toner after the machine instructs you to add toner. ❒ Do not use used toner. This will damage the machine. A Lift the original table until it locks in place. 50
