Removing Spilled Toner - Epson EPL-8000 User Manual

Cleaning the Printer

Removing spilled toner

If toner spills inside the printer, do not use the printer until you
remove all the spilled toner. Follow these steps:
1. If only a small amount of toner is present, carefully wipe out
the inside of the printer with a damp cloth.
2.
If a large amount of toner is present, use a small vacuum
cleaner (available from computer supply stores) to remove it.
CAUTIONS:
Toner or any other fine powder can damage some
l
vacuum cleaners. Be sure to read the instructions for
your vacuum cleaner before you use it on spilled
toner.
When you clean the paper input path, be careful not
l
to touch the transfer charger wire with the vacuum
cleaner.
Note:
If you spill toner on your clothing, rinse it off with cold
water. Do not use hot water; it may cause the toner to leave a
permanent stain.
