If only a small amount of toner is present, carefully wipe out the inside of the printer with a clean, dry cloth.

If a large amount of toner is present, use a small vacuum cleaner (available from computer supply stores) to remove it. Then carefully wipe with a clean, dry cloth.

cCaution:

Toner and other fine powders can damage some vacuum cleaners. Be sure to read the instructions for your vacuum cleaner before you use it on spilled toner.

Note:

If you spill toner on your clothing, rinse it off with cold water. Do not use hot water as it may cause the toner to leave a permanent stain.

If the printer's outer case is dirty or dusty, turn off the printer and clean it with a soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild detergent.

cCaution:

Never use alcohol or thinner to clean the printer cover; these chemicals can damage the components and the case. Be careful not to get water on the printer mechanism or any electronic components.
