3.2 Safety of the Toner
The machine's toner is a non-toxic material consisting of plastic, iron, and small amounts
of dye. If toner came into contact with your skin or clothes, remove as much of it as possible
with dry tissue, and wash with water. Do not use hot water, as it will turn the toner into a
jelly and cause it to permanently fuse with the fibers of the clothes. Also, do not bring toner
into contact with vinyl material, as they are likely to react against each other.
Do not throw toner into fire. It may explode.
3.3 Storing and Handling the Cartridge
(Drum Unit and Developing Unit)
Whether it is left packed or unpacked, or is fitted to the machine, the cartridge is subject
to the effects of the environment, and will deteriorate over time. The speed of deterioration
depends on the site or storage condition, and cannot be generalized. Take full care when
storing or handing it.
3.3.1 Storing a Drum Unit Before Unpacking
If the drum unit is to be stored in a storeroom or a workshop, be sure to refer to T01-303-
01, and keep the following in mind:
• Avoid direct sunshine.
• Avoid vibration.
• Avoid impact. (Take care not to drop it.)
