Removing Paper Jams
Removing Jammed Paper
• Jammed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your hands or clothes.
• Toner on prints made immediately after clearing a paper jam may be insufficiently fused and can
smudge. Make test prints until smudges no longer appear.
• Do not forcefully remove jammed paper, as it may tear. Torn pieces remaining inside the
machine will cause further jams and possibly damage the machine.

     WARNING
• Do not incinerate used toner or toner containers. Toner dust might ignite when exposed to
an open flame. Dispose used toner containers in accordance with local regulations.
• Do not store toner, used toner, or toner containers in a place with an open flame. The
toner might ignite and cause burns of a fire.
     CAUTION
• Keep toner (used or unused) and toner containers out of reach of children.
• If toner or used toner is inhaled, gargle with plenty of water and move into a fresh air
environment. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• Avoid getting toner on your clothes or skin when removing a paper jam or replacing toner.
If your skin comes into contact with toner, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap
and water.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wash with cold water. Hot water will set the toner into the
fabric and may make removing the stain impossible.
• If toner or used toner gets into your eyes, flush immediately with large amounts of water.
Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If toner or used toner is swallowed, dilute by drinking a large amount of water. Consult a
doctor if necessary.
• Store print cartridges in a cool dark place.
• The actual number of printed pages varies depending on image volume and density, number of
pages printed at a time, paper type and size, and environmental conditions such as temperature
and humidity. Toner quality degrades over time. Early replacement of print cartridges might be
necessary. Therefore, we recommend you always keep new print cartridges ready.
• For good print quality, we strongly advise you use genuine print cartridges only.
• The supplier shall not be responsible for any damage or expense that might result from the use
of parts other than genuine parts from the supplier with your office products.
