Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire. If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.

If toner is ingested, consult a physician immediately. If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing it off with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains. Store toner containers as described below Store toner containers in the following conditions: Storage temperature range: 20-27 ℃ Storage humidity range: 15 % to 60 ％RH (relative humidity, condensation-free)* * Even within the approved storage humidity range, water droplets (condensation) may develop inside the toner container if the temperatures inside and outside the toner container differ. Condensation will adversely affect the print quality. Store unopened until immediately prior to use. Do not store toner containers in the following locations: Locations exposed to open Flames Locations exposed to direct sunlight Locations exposed to excessively salty air Locations heavily exposed to corrosive gases (e.g. aerosol sprays or ammonia) Very hot and/or humid Locations Locations subject to dramatic changes in temperature and humidity likely to cause condensation Very dusty Locations Locations within the reach of Children Locations close to products that emit magnetism If toner is ingested, consult a physician immediately. If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing it off with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
