Replacing the Cartridge 
This section describes how to remove the used cartridge and replace it with a new 
one. Before replacing the cartridge, be sure to read the section When to Replace 
the Cartridge, on p. 8-4.
NOTE
 
When handling the cartridge, take care not to allow the toner on the jammed paper to 
come into contact with your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them 
immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner, and make it 
impossible to remove the toner stains.
