This whole thread points out one thing that buyers of laser printers
should be aware of:
SPECIFY THAT THE TONER DOES NOT SHIP IN THE PRINTER
I've even had dealers ship me printers with the toner installed. All the
owners' manuals I've seen make a point of advising the user to remove the
toner before moving or shipment. If the printer in question had that
info in the manual, then the seller was liable, IMO, for the damage.
Fed Ex should not have been liable for this kind of damage...
Anyhow, if you get a printer with toner all over internally, do NOT
turn it on before removing the cover and blowing the toner dust
out completely with an air compressor or canned compressed air.
Even so, if toner got into the laser scanning assembly, user repair
may not be possible.
Don't let the toner dust get on your clothes and don't inhale it. If you
do get it on your clothes, wash them in cold water only.
