CAUTION: Do not use warm water or cleaning solvents to remove Toner from your skin or clothing.  If any Toner gets on your skin or clothing, use a brush to remove the Toner, or wash it off with cold water and mild soap.

NOTE: The images in this procedure are for demonstration purposes only and may not specifically match your printer model; colors, icons, and other minor differences may exist.

IMPORTANT: Place any suspected defective cartridge that is removed from the printer in protective wrapping/packaging material for situations where it may still be a functioning cartridge. If you do not have the original packaging material, use the packaging from the new cartridge.
