Precautions for replacing consumables

Note the following points during the replacement.


Do not throw the toner, toner cartridge or waste toner box into fire. Toner may fly off, thus causing burns.

Do not store the toner cartridge and waste toner box in a place with fire. Doing so may cause a fire or burns.

Do not clean up spilled toner using an electric vacuum cleaner. When spilled toner is cleaned up using an electric vacuum cleaner, a fire may be caused due to sparks from electrical contacts. Wipe off and remove the toner spilled on the floor using a wet cloth.

As the fuser unit may be hot, be cautious during operation and always hold the handle to lift it. When it is hot, wait until it cools down before any operation.

There are high-temperature parts inside the machine. Do not touch the area with the "Caution: High Temperature" label. Doing so may cause burns.

Keep the toner cartridge and waste toner box out of the reach of children. If children swallow toner by mistake, immediately consult a physician.

When toner is inhaled, gargle with a lot of water and move the person to a place with fresh air. Consult a physician as necessary.

When toner gets contact with the skin of your hands etc., wash it off with soapy water.

It toner gets into your eyes, immediately wash it off with a large quantity of water. Consult a physician as necessary.

When toner is swallowed, exhale the toner. Consult a physician as necessary.

When clearing a paper jam or replacing the toner cartridge and the waste toner box, take care that your hands and clothes are not stained with toner. When clothes are stained with toner, wash them in cold water. Heating it like washing in hot water may dye the toner on clothes, and the stains may not be removed easily.

Do not disassemble the image drum, toner cartridge, waste toner box or belt unit. Doing so may scatter the toner, which may be inhaled by people or may stain clothes or hands.

Store the used toner cartridge and the waste toner box in a bag so that toner does not scatter.

  • Use genuine OKI consumables for optimum performance.
  • Failures caused by using non-genuine consumables may void the warranty or maintenance contract. (The use of non-genuine consumables will not necessarily cause failures, but please fully take notice of such usage.)
