B The best way to clean up the toner that spilled into the printer is to use an ESD-safe vacuum. An ESD-safe vacuum is a special type of vacuum that has a filter that traps toner particles and prevents them from escaping into the air. An ESD-safe vacuum also has a grounding wire that prevents static electricity from building up and damaging the printer’s components. Toner is electrically conductive and can cause short circuits or sparks if it contacts sensitive parts of the printer. Therefore, using an ESD-safe vacuum is the safest and most effective method to remove the toner from the printer.

Other methods, such as a magnetic duster, compressed air, or a damp cloth, are not recommended for cleaning up toner spills. A magnetic duster is a device that uses a magnet to attract toner particles, but it can also damage the printer’s components that rely on magnetism, such as the drum or the fuser. Compressed air can blow the toner around and create a cloud of dust that can be harmful to breathe or contaminate other parts of the printer. A damp cloth can smear the toner and make it harder to remove, as well as cause corrosion or rust on the printer’s metal parts.

B. ESD-safe vacuum When toner spills inside a printer, it's crucial to clean it up properly to prevent damage to the printer and ensure proper functioning. An ESD-safe vacuum is the best option for cleaning up toner spills because it's specifically designed to safely remove toner particles without generating static electricity that could damage sensitive printer components. Using a vacuum with an ESD-safe nozzle attachment helps to effectively remove toner particles without spreading them further or causing damage to the printer.

Selected Answer: B
ESD-safe vacuums are designed to reduce the risk of damaging electronic components when cleaning various types of electronic equipment, including printers. However, when it comes to cleaning up toner spills inside a laser printer, using an ESD-safe vacuum might not be the best option. Toner particles are very fine and can easily become airborne, potentially causing damage to sensitive electronic components if not handled properly. While an ESD-safe vacuum may be effective for general cleaning of electronic equipment, toner spills are better addressed with compressed air. Compressed air allows for gentle blowing to dislodge and remove toner particles without the risk of damaging components or spreading toner further.
