Precautions when storing toner cartridges
To use toner cartridges in a safe and trouble-free manner, store 
them in a place tha\It fulfills the following conditions.
•
 Do not stor

e toner cartridges in a location\I exposed to direct 
sunlight.
•
 Do not stor

e toner cartridges in a location\I subject to high 
temperature or humidity or in a location \Iwith dramatic chan\Iges 
in temperature or humidity.
- Storage temperature range: 32 to 95°F (0 to 35°C)
- Storage humidity range: 35 to 85% RH (no conde\Insation)
•
 Do not stor

e toner cartridges in a place wh\Iere corrosive gases, 
such as ammonia, a\Ire generated, or where a considerable 
amount of salt is c\Iontained in the ai\Ir, or where there is a lot of 
dust.
•
 Keep toner car

tridges out of the r\Ieach of small childr\Ien.
•
 Keep t

oner cartridges away from products that may be damaged 
by magnetism, such as a \Ifloppy disk or disk drive.
Store toner cartridges in the sa\fe\R orientation as when 
they are installed in the\R \fachine.
Do not store toner cartridges vertically or upside-down.
When re\foving the toner cartridge which is being used 
fro\f the \fachine 
Immediately place the removed toner cartridge into the original 
protective bag or wrap it wi\Ith a thick cloth.
\bbout a new toner cartridge
Do not take a new toner cartridge out of the pr\Iotective bag until it 
is ready to be used.
 NOTE 
\bbout condensation
Even within the storable humidity range, water droplets may 
develop both inside and\I outside toner cartridges. The formation of 
water droplets is called con\Idensation.
Condensation will ad\Iversely affect the quality of toner cartridges.

Precautions when pullin\Rg out the sealing \Rtape
Do not pull the seali\Ing tape at an angle\I or up and down. If the tape 
breaks, it may not be pulled out \Icompletely.
	 		Front View
• If the sealing tape \Iis still hanging outside the toner cartridge, pull 
it out completely
. If the tape remains inside the \Itoner cartridge, 
it may cause poor print quality. If you are using the Fax, please 
note that you can only print the received data once, because the 
received data is deleted once it is printed.
•
 Dispose of the sea\Iling tape according to local r

egulations.

Precautions When Replacing Toner Cartridge
See “Maintenance and Inspections” (→P. xv) in “Important 
Safety Instructions” as well.
 W\bRNING
Do not dispose of a used toner cartridge in an open

This may ignite the toner remaining inside th\Ie cartridge, 
resulting in burns or fire.
 C\bUTION
Precautions to take when you get toner onto your 
hands or clothing
If toner gets on your hands or clothi\Ing, wash them 
immediately with cold water.
The toner sets onto hands or into clothing if you try to 
wash it with warm water. \fnce it is set, y\Iou can hardly 
remove the toner stains.
Be careful not to scatter the toner.
Do not pull out the \Isealing tape forcefully or stop pulling 
the tape halfway, as this may cause toner to spill out.
If toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash \Ithem 
immediately with cold water and consult a ph\Iysician.

Be Careful of Counterfeit Toner Cartridges.
Please be aware that there are counterfeit Canon toner cartridges 
in the marketplace.
Use of counterfeit toner cartridges may result in poor print quality 
or machine performance.
Canon is not responsible for any malfunction, accident or \Idamage 
caused by the use of count\Ierfeit toner cartridges.
For more information, see the following Web site.
http://www.canon.com/counterfeit
Shake the toner cartridge before replace\fent.
If the toner is not distributed evenly inside the car\Itridge, this may 
cause poor print quality.
Hold the toner cartridges properly.
When handling the t\Ioner cartridge, hold it properly, as shown in 
the illustration belo\Iw. Do not stand it vertically or hold it u\Ipside 
down.
			
Do not touch the electrical contacts (\b) or the toner 
cartridge \fe\fory (B), and do not \Ropen the dru\f 
protective cover (C).
Touching the electrical contacts (A) or the toner cartridge memory 
(B) may result in damage to the machine.
Print quality may deteriorate if you touch or damage the\I 
photoconductor drum. Never touch it or open th\Ie drum protective 
cover (C).

Miscellaneous precautions
• Do not expose the t\Ioner cartridge to direct sunlight or strong 
light.
•
 Never disassemble or mo\Idify it.
•
 Condensation may f

orm in and on the toner cartridge if it is 
brought into an environment that expose\Is it to sudden changes 
in temperature and/or humidity.
•
 If you mo

ve the toner cartridge to a location that i\Is warmer or 
has higher humidit\Iy, leave the cartridge in the new location for 
2 hours or longer w\Iithout opening the\I protective bag to allow it 
to adjust to the new temperature.
•
 Do not leav

e the front cover open for a long time with\I the toner 
cartridges installed.
•
 Keep the toner car

tridge away from equipment that \Igenerates 
magnetic fields, such as LCD displays and computers.
•
 A toner 

cartridge is a magnetic product. Keep the toner cartridge 
away from products that may be damaged by magnetism, such 
as a floppy disk or disk drive. This may lead to damage to data.
 NOTE 
\bbout the packing \faterials
The packing materials are subject to change in form or placement, 
or may be added or removed without notice.
When  is set to 

The machine continu\Ies printing the received fax if the toner 
cartridge is not replaced. Note that the output \Imay not be clear, as 
subtle details such \Ias thin lines and l\Iight colors may not be clearly 
reproduced, due to a small amount of\I toner remaining inside th\Ie 
toner cartridge. Plus, the data is delet\Ied once it has been\I printed.
