CAUTION
!
Power off the printer prior to cleaning.
Do not use solvent on the printer. Using solvent may dissolve the plastic
and paint of the printer.
Do not use cleaning solutions to clean inside and around the printer. Use
only a water-moistened cloth.
CAUTION
!
For cleaning up toner or developer spillage, use a specially-designed
toner-safe vacuum cleaner. If you use a regular vacuum cleaner, the drawn
toner/developer powder may scatter in the air. If you inhale or your eyes
come into contact with such powder, you may feel sick or injure your eyes.
Further, the drawn toner/developer powder may render the vacuum
cleaner defective when it enters the vacuum cleaner’s motor section.
NOTE
:
If the toner gets on your clothes, wipe it off with a dry cloth first and wash
the clothes in COLD water. Be careful not to use hot water as it permits the
toner to permeate into the fabric. Although the toner is nontoxic, avoid
breathing toner particles.
