• Prints might be noticeably curled. Flatten out prints if they are creased or curled.
Envelopes
This section gives you various details about and recommendations concerning envelopes.
• Do not use window envelopes.
• Misfeeds might occur depending on the length and shape of the flaps. • Before loading envelopes, press down on them to remove any air from inside, flatten out all four edges. If they are bent or curled, flatten their leading edges (the edge going into the machine) by
running a pencil or ruler across them.

							Adding Toner
This section explains precautions when adding toner, how to send faxes or scanned documents when
the toner has run out, and how to dispose of used toner.• Do not incinerate toner (new or used) or toner containers. Doing so risks burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.• Do not store toner (new or used) or toner containers anywhere near naked flames. Doing sorisks fire and burns. Toner will ignite on contact with naked flame.• Do not use a vacuum cleaner to remove spilled toner (including used toner). Absorbed toner may cause a fire or explosion due to electrical contact flickering inside the vacuum cleaner.
However, it is possible to use a vacuum cleaner that is explosion-proof and dust ignition-proof. If
toner is spilled on the floor, remove the spilled toner slowly using a wet cloth, so that the toner is
not scattered.• The following explains the warning messages on the plastic bag used in this product's packaging.
• Keep the polythene materials (bags, etc.) supplied with this machine away from babies and small children at all times. Suffocation can result if polythene materials are brought into
contact with the mouth or nose.• Do not crush or squeeze toner containers. Doing so can cause toner spillage, possibly resulting in dirtying of skin, clothing, and floor, and accidental ingestion.• Store toner (new or used), toner containers, and components that have been in contact with toner out of reach of children.• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh airenvironment. Consult a doctor if necessary.• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water. Consulta doctor if necessary.• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a doctor if necessary.9. Adding Paper and Toner

							• When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on yourclothing. If toner comes into contact with your clothing, wash the stained area with cold water.
Hot water will set the toner into the fabric and make removing the stain impossible.• When removing jammed paper or replacing toner, avoid getting toner (new or used) on your skin. If toner comes into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and
water.• When replacing a toner or waste toner container or consumables with toner, make sure that the toner does not splatter. Put the waste consumables in a bag after they are removed. For
consumables with a lid, make sure that the lid is shut.
• Always replace the toner cartridge when a notification appears on the machine.
• Fault may occur if you use toner other than the recommended type.
• When adding toner, do not turn off the main power. If you do, settings will be lost.
• Store toner where it will not be exposed to direct sunlight, temperatures above 35°C (95°F), or high humidity.
• Store toner horizontally.
• Do not shake the toner cartridge with its mouth down after removing it. Residual toner may scatter.
• Do not repeatedly install and remove toner cartridges. This will result in toner leakage.
Follow the instruction on the screen regarding how to replace a toner cartridge.
• If "Toner Cartridge is almost empty." appears on the system message widget, the toner has almost run out. Have a replacement toner cartridge at hand.
