water.
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consult
a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor
if necessary.
• Store print cartridges in a cool dark place.

Therefore, we recommend you always keep a new print cartridge ready.
• For good print quality, the manufacturer recommends that you use genuine toner from the
manufacturer.
• The manufacturer shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use
of parts other than genuine parts from the manufacturer with your office products.
