Cleaning Spilled Toner
Defective toner cartridges can develop leaks. Also, after a paper jam has
occurred, there may be some toner remaining on the rollers and guides
inside the printer. The pages that print immediately after the jam may pick
up this toner.
Clean spilled toner with a cloth slightly dampened in cold water. Do not
touch the Transfer Roller with the damp cloth or with your fingers. Do not
use a vacuum cleaner unless it is equipped with a micro-fine particle filter.
Note If toner gets on your clothing, use cold water to remove it. Hot water sets
toner stains into fabric.
