Maintenance This chapter explains how to clean the machine, replace the toner cartridge, and repack and transport the machine. Periodic Cleaning Your machine requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for your machine. CAUTION • When cleaning the machine's exterior or the platen glass, be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
Cleaning the ADF Area Black lines may appear in copies when the ADF is used to feed documents. This is caused by paste, ink, correction fluid, or other foreign matters in the read area of the platen glass (shaded area). Use a clean soft cloth to wipe the read area clean. Take particular care to clean at the locations where the black lines are appearing on copies.
When to Replace the Cartridge The cartridge is a consumable item and should be replaced when the toner runs out. If white streaks or light bands appear on the printouts, the toner is running low. NOTE Before handling the cartridge, see the precautions in "Handling and Storing the Cartridge," on p. 8-4. Remove the cartridge from the machine.
This section describes the approximate number of printouts that can be made per cartridge. ■ Approximate Print Yield Canon Cartridge EP-26: Approx. 2,500 printouts (A4 at 4% dot coverage*). * The term "A4 at 4% dot coverage" denotes a document on which the area covered with toner is 4% of the total area of an A4-size sheet.
• Always hold the cartridge as shown so that the side with the instructions (A) faces up. Do not forcefully move or push the drum protective shutter (B) in any way. ■ Storage Precautions WARNING Do not store cartridges or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner or copy paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
■ Storing Partially Used Cartridges If you remove a cartridge from the machine, store the cartridge as described below. Place the cartridge in its protective bag so that the side with the written instructions faces up. Then, place the cartridge into its shipping box. Be sure to securely close the lid of the shipping box. If you do not have the protective bag or shipping box for the cartridge, store the cartridge in a dark location.
Page 53
Remove the new cartridge from its protective bag. NOTE Save the protective bag. You may need it later when you remove the cartridge from the machine. Rock the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly. Place the cartridge on a flat and stable surface. Fold the tab (A) on the sealing tape (B) as shown below, and pull it out straight while supporting the cartridge.
