Replacing the Toner • If toner (new or used) comes into contact with your skin or clothes and smears them, take the following actions: • If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water. • If toner comes into contact with your clothes, wash the stained area with cold water. Heating the stained area by applying hot water will set the toner into the fabric and removing the stain may become impossible. • When replacing a container with toner (including used toner) or consumables with toner, be careful that the toner does not splatter. After removing used consumables and shutting the lid of the container if the lid is available, put them in a bag. • Do not open toner containers forcibly while toner is inside, crush or squeeze them. Toner spillage can cause accidental ingestion or dirtying of clothes, hands, or floor. Disposing Exhausted Toners You cannot reuse exhausted toners. When disposing a depleted print cartridge, place the cartridge in a box or plastic bag while paying attention not to spill any toner powder. (mainly Europe and Asia) If you want to discard your used toner container, please contact your local sales office. If you discard it by yourself, treat it as general plastic waste material. (mainly North America) Please see our local company website for information on the recycling of supply products, or you can recycle items according to the requirements of your local municipalities or private recyclers. 231
