The full length of the sealing tape is approximately 50 cm.

WARNING
Do not dispose of a used toner cartridge in open flames.
- This may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or fire.
CAUTION
Precautions if you get toner on your hands or clothing
- If toner gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water sets the toner, making it impossible to remove the toner stains.
Be careful not to allow the toner to scatter.
- Do not pull out the sealing tape forcefully or stop at midpoint, as this may cause toner to spill out. If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and consult a physician.
Precautions when lowering the scanning platform
- Be careful not to catch your fingers.
