Cartridge
The lifetime of the Canon genuine replacement cartridge is approximately 10,000 
pages. The level of toner consumption varies depending on the type of originals 
printed. If your average original contains a lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of 
the cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner. When you are replacing a 
cartridge, be sure to use a cartridge designed for this product. To purchase the Canon 
genuine replacement cartridge, contact Canon Authorized Service Facilities or Canon 
Customer Care Center (U.S.A.:1-800-828-4040, Canada:1-800-652-2666).

Maintaining the Cartridge
Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The 
magnet inside the cartridge may harm these items.
Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in 
temperature.
Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five minutes.
Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install 
the cartridge in the machine.
Save the toner cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the 
cartridge at a later date.
Do not store the cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases such 
as from aerosol sprays.
Do not remove the cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
Do not open the drum protective shutter on the cartridge. Print quality may deteriorate if 
the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
Always hold the cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective shutter.
Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes 
caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by shaking the 
cartridge.
If there is a toner powder leakage, make sure not to inhale or touch the toner powder. If it 
comes in contact with your skin, rinse with cold water using soap. If you feel an irritation 
on your skin or inhale the powder, consult a doctor immediately.
When removing the cartridge from the machine, make sure to remove it carefully. If not 
removed with care, the toner powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes 
and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor immediately.
Keep the cartridge away from small children. If they ingest the toner powder, consult a 
doctor immediately.
Do not disassemble the cartridge. The toner powder may scatter and come in contact 
with your eyes and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor 
immediately.
Do not place the cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
