Replacing the Toner Cartridge

This section describes how to replace or handle the toner cartridges and
precautions on storing them.
Contact the store where you purchased the printer to obtain replacement toner
cartridges.
IMPORTANT
No message appears in the display even if the toner cartridge is nearing the end of its
life. The case where white streaks appear on printed paper in longitudinal direction, or
printed paper comes out faint or uneven can be used to estimate when the toner
cartridge will need to be replaced. When you are replacing the toner cartridge, be sure to
use a toner cartridge designed for this printer.
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 2,500 pages or 6,000 pages. The page counts are on the basis of "ISO/
7
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.

Before Replacing the Toner Cartridge

Toner cartridges are consumable products. When there is not enough toner, this
may cause the case where white streaks appear on the printed paper in
longitudinal direction, or the printed paper comes out faint or uneven. If this type of
symptom may occur, perform the following procedure before replacing the toner
cartridge. You may be able to print for a while until the toner is used up 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.
