Special Safety Instructions for Toner
Accidental Physical Exposure
ï‚§ Work carefully when removing paper jams or replacing toner bottles or cartridges to avoid
spilling toner on clothing or the hands.
ï‚§ 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.
ï‚§ If toner gets on the skin, wash immediately with soap and cold running water.
ï‚§ 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.
ï‚§ 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.
ï‚§ 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.
Handling and Storing Toner
ï‚§ Toner, used toner, and developer are extremely flammable.
ï‚§ Never store toner, developer, toner cartridges, or toner bottles (including empty toner
bottles or cartridges) in a location where they will be exposed to high temperature or an
open flame.
ï‚§ 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.
ï‚§ Always store fresh toner supplies or empty bottles or cartridges in a cool, dry location that
is not exposed to direct sunlight.
ï‚§ Do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove spilled toner (including used toner). Vacuumed
toner may cause a fire or explosion due to sparks or electrical contact inside the cleaner.
However, it is possible to use a cleaner designed to be dust explosion-proof. If toner is
spilled over the floor, sweep up spilled toner slowly and clean up any remaining toner with
a wet cloth.
