Be careful not to inhale toner. IMPORTANT • Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded toner cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother branded cartridges with this machine.
Page 97
Routine Maintenance • We recommend that you place the drum unit and/or toner cartridge on a clean, flat surface with a piece of disposable paper underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner. • Handle the toner cartridge and the waste toner box carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
