Using Up Toner - Canon LBP3460 User Manual

NOTE
•
Two types of toner cartridge that have different lifetime (Canon Genuine Cartridges) are
available for this printer.
•
The lifetime of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) designed for this printer
is approximately 6,000 pages or 12,000 pages. The page counts are on the basis of
"ISO/IEC 19752"* when printing A4 size paper with the default print density setting. The
level of toner consumption varies depending on the type of documents printed. If your
average document contains a lot of diagrams, charts, or graphs, the life of the toner
cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner.
* "ISO/IEC 19752" is the global standard related to "Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for
monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that may contain printer
components" issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
•
This section describes the procedure, taking the toner cartridge with its lifetime of
approximately 6,000 pages (Canon Genuine Cartridges) as an example.

Using Up Toner

When the message <1G CHECK TONER> appears in the display, and the printing
appears faint, perform the following procedure before replacing the toner cartridge.
The message may disappear, and you may be able to print for a while until toner
runs out completely.
CAUTION
Take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or
clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash
them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water will set the toner
and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
NOTE
For details on handling toner cartridges, see "Precautions for Handling Toner Cartridges,"
