Handling Toner; Laser Safety - Ricoh D096 Service Manual

Handling Toner

Work carefully when removing paper jams or replacing toner bottles or cartridges to
avoid spilling toner on clothing or the hands.
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.
If toner gets on the skin, wash immediately with soap and cold running water.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Always store fresh toner supplies or empty bottles or cartridges in a cool, dry location
that is not exposed to direct sunlight.

Laser Safety

The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) prohibits the repair of laser-based
optical units in the field. The optical housing unit can only be repaired in a factory or at a
location with the requisite equipment. The laser subsystem is replaceable in the field by a
qualified Customer Engineer. The laser chassis is not repairable in the field. Customer
engineers are therefore directed to return all chassis and laser subsystems to the factory or
service depot when replacement of the optical subsystem is required.
