Printer Waste Toner Message - Sharp 3070N

The waste toner box needs to be emptied. When you open up the copier like you are going to change out a toner, there is the big black waste toner box in the middle. You simply pull it out and at the bottom of the box, you will see a plastic oval piece that can be removed. Please do this in the kitchen, and over the trash can. Be careful because the toner is like flour.

Caution: It will come pouring out and the higher up you hold it the more it might poof back into the air ( so keep it low to the trash can).

When mostly empty, replace the plastic piece into the container. If toner gets on the floor, sweep or vacuum it up--DO NOT USE WATER TO CLEAN IT UP because it will turn to paint/ink. You can simply wipe down the box with paper towels if it is on the box or the plastic lid. If it gets on your hands, soap and water will take it right off.
