Best Practices
- Mark toner boxes appropriately, e.g. clearly label new ones “FULL”.
- Handle the large cartridges carefully, holding them by the blue handles and do not invert them.
- Failure to do so may cause toner to spill out, which will cause a mess and is not especially healthy to breathe in. To clear up any spillages, wipe up with a cold damp cloth. Do not use hot water as this will permanently fuse the toner, and do not use a vacuum cleaner as the toner-air mixture can easily ignite and even in the best case will clog the vacuum’s HEPA filter.
- Place used cartridges in an empty bin bag and tie it, with one cartridge per bag.
- As above, if you need to wash your hands afterwards, do so with cold water.
Office Printer
- Open the flap at the top.
- Remove the old cartridge at a ~45 degree angle (a reasonable amount of force and wiggling is required).
- Insert a new one in its place.
- Close the hatch and send a document to check that it works.
- In the printer options, select "LOW TONER - NO" (WIP).

Proj. Box Printer
- DO NOT KNOCK THE PROJECTOR.
- Move the posters in front of the printer away from the "Classically Forbidden Zone".
- Pull down the front of tray 1.
- Lift up the top front panel of the printer.
- Pull down the next front panel of the printer.
- Holding the green tabs, pull down the final front panel of the printer, holding the green tabs at the sides. This should reveal the toner cartridges.
- Pull the empty cartridge out straight.
- Replace it in the same way, with the curved edges of the blue handles pointing down.
- Close up the panels in reverse order and switch the printer back on.
