About Toner Cartridges

Your printer uses four toner cartridges: black, yellow, magenta, and cyan. Handle the toner cartridges

carefully to avoid spilling toner inside the printer or on yourself.

Note:

❏When replacing the toner cartridges, install only new cartridges. If a used toner cartridge is installed,

the amount of remaining toner may not appear correctly.

❏Do not open the toner cartridge unnecessarily. If toner is spilled, avoid inhaling it or allowing it to

come in contact with your skin.

❏If toner gets on your hands or clothes, immediately wash them with soap and water.

❏If toner was inhaled, move to an area with fresh air, and gargle thoroughly with a large quantity of

water. If conditions such as coughing appear, seek professional medical attention.

❏If toner gets in your eyes, immediately flush them with water for at least 15 minutes. If any irritation

persists, seek professional medical attention.

❏If toner gets in your mouth, thoroughly rinse it, and then drink 1 to 2 cups of water. If necessary, seek

professional medical attention.

❏Store toner cartridges out of the reach of children.

Note:

The use of non-genuine toner cartridges may result in unstable performance. In addition, any damage

caused by the use of non-genuine toner cartridges is not covered by the warranty, even if it occurs during

the warranty period. (Although damage is not certain to result from using non-genuine toner cartridges,

we strongly recommend that you use genuine toner cartridges.)

Note:

For optimum print quality and performance, use only the corresponded TYPE genuine Epson toner

cartridges.

Keep toner cartridges:

❏In their packaging until you’re ready to install them.

❏In a cool, dry location away from sunlight (due to heat).

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 the environment for

about one hour before use.

❏Level during handling and storage.

Do not turn cartridges upside down; the toner inside the cartridges may become caked or

unequally distributed.

❏Away from salty air and corrosive gases such as aerosols.
