Safety and Ecological Notes for Disposal
1. Do not incinerate toner bottles or used toner. Toner dust may ignite suddenly when
exposed to an open flame.
2. Dispose of used toner, developer, and organic photoconductors in accordance with local
regulations. (These are non-toxic supplies.)
3. Dispose of replaced parts in accordance with local regulations.
4. When keeping used lithium batteries in order to dispose of them later, do not put more
than 100 batteries per sealed box. Storing larger numbers or not sealing them apart may
lead to chemical reactions and heat build-up.
 The danger of explosion exists if a battery of this type is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer. Discard used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Handling Toner
 Work carefully when removing paper jams or replacing toner bottles or cartridges to
avoid spilling toner on clothing or the hands.
 If toner is inhaled, immediately gargle with large amounts of cold water and move to a
well ventilated location. If there are signs of irritation or other problems, seek medical
attention.
 If toner gets on the skin, wash immediately with soap and cold running water.
 If toner gets into the eyes, flush the eyes with cold running water or eye wash. If there
are signs of irritation or other problems, seek medical attention.
 If toner is swallowed, drink a large amount of cold water to dilute the ingested toner. If
there are signs of any problem, seek medical attention.
 If toner spills on clothing, wash the affected area immediately with soap and cold water.
Never use hot water! Hot water can cause toner to set and permanently stain fabric.
 Always store toner and developer supplies such as toner and developer packages,
cartridges, and bottles (including used toner and empty bottles and cartridges) out of the
reach of children.
 Always store fresh toner supplies or empty bottles or cartridges in a cool, dry location
that is not exposed to direct sunlight.
