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.
