carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer or on yourself.
Note:
The toner is nontoxic. If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap. If you get
toner on your clothes, lightly dust them...

Note:
For optimum print quality and performance, use only the corresponded TYPE genuine Epson toner
cartridges.
Keep toner cartridges:

The maximum storage temperature is 35˚ C (95˚ F) and the maximum storage humidity is 85%
(noncondensing). If the toner cartridge is moved from a cold place to a warm, humid place,
condensation may occur, degrading print quality. Allow the toner to adapt to...
