Preparing the Toner Cartridges

CAUTION
Precautions if you get toner on your hands or clothing
If toner gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately with cold water.
Washing with warm water sets the toner, making it impossible to remove the toner stains.
Gently open the front cover.
Remove the toner cartridge tray.
Pull the front handle.
NOTE
Order of the toner cartridges
Hold down the toner cartridge near the tab of the sealing tape.
IMPORTANT
About the supplied toner cartridges
Remove the sealing tape from the toner cartridges without removing the toner cartridges from the printer.
Remove the sealing tape (approximately 50 cm long).
- Grab the tab with your finger.
- Pull out the sealing tape straight in the direction of the arrow.

CAUTION
Be careful not to allow the toner to scatter.
Do not pull out the sealing tape forcefully or stop at midpoint, as this may cause toner to spill out.
If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and consult a physician.
IMPORTANT
Pull the sealing tape completely out of the toner cartridge.
Gently pull up the sealing tape in the direction of the arrow. If the sealing tape breaks, you may not be able to fully remove it.
Any sealing tape not removed from the toner cartridge may result in poor print quality.
Dispose of the sealing tape according to local regulations.
If an error message is displayed
If the printer is turned on before the sealing tape is removed, an error message is displayed.
Turn off the printer, remove the sealing tape, and then turn the printer on again.
Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for each toner cartridge.
Make sure that all four sealing tapes have been removed.
Return the toner cartridge tray to its original position.
Gently close the front cover.

CAUTION
Precautions when closing the front cover
Be careful not to catch your fingers.
IMPORTANT
If you cannot close the front cover
Check if the toner cartridges are installed properly.
Do not try to forcefully close the front cover, as this may damage the printer.
Do not leave the front cover open for a long time after installing the toner cartridges.
This may result in poor print quality.
NOTE
About the packing material
The packing material may be changed in form or placement, or may be added or removed without notice.
Precautions for Handling Toner Cartridges

WARNING
Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open flames
This may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or fire.

CAUTION
Precautions if you get toner on your hands or clothing
If toner gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately with cold water.
Washing with warm water sets the toner, making it impossible to remove the toner stains.
IMPORTANT
Be careful when handling the toner cartridges.
- Do not touch the drum.
Touching or damaging the photosensitive drum inside the toner cartridge may result in deterioration in print quality.
- Do not touch or jolt the toner cartridge memory (A).

Precautions when installing or removing the toner cartridges
- When removing used toner cartridges, be sure to immediately place them into the original protective bag or wrap them with a thick cloth.
- When replacing a toner cartridge, be sure to replace the toner cartridge of the same color.
- Do not expose the toner cartridges to direct sunlight or strong light.
- Do not disassemble or modify the toner cartridges.
- Condensation (water droplets on the inside or outside) may form on the toner cartridges when brought into an environment with a sudden change in temperature or humidity.
When moving a new toner cartridge to a location with a higher temperature or humidity, leave the cartridge in the protective bag at the new location for two hours to allow it to adjust to the new environment.
- Keep toner cartridges away from products that generate magnetic waves, such as a computer or computer display.
Be careful of counterfeit toners
