Replacing the Toner
When there is only a small amount of toner remaining in the machine, the following 
message blinks on the LCD display. You may continue printing, however, it is 
highly recommended that you prepare a new toner cartridge before the toner has 
completely run out.
When prints can no longer be made as toner runs out completely, the following 
display appears on the LCD display. Follow the procedure described below to help 
you replace the toner cartridge.
NOTE
For detailed information on the displays showing the instructions on replacing the toner 
or staples, clearing the paper or staple jams, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting,” in the 
Reference Guide.
WARNING
•Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause 
the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•Do not store toner cartridges or paper in places exposed to open flames, as this 
may cause the toner or paper to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•When discarding used toner cartridges, put the cartridges in a bag to prevent 
the toner remaining inside the cartridges from scattering, and dispose of them 
in a location away from open flames.

Washing it off with warm water may set the toner permanently, and make it 
impossible to remove the toner stains.

Clearing Paper Jams
Clearing Paper Jams with On-Screen Instructions
If a paper jam occurs, the display below appears. It is the first page of the 
On-Screen Instructions that help you clear the paper jam. The On-Screen 
Instructions show you how to clear the paper jam step by step. You can proceed to 
the next step by pressing [ ] or return to the previous step by pressing [ ].
For more information, see Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting,” in the Reference Guide.
WARNING
There are some areas inside the machine which are subject to high-voltages. 
When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do 
not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the 
machine, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
CAUTION
•When removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands on 
the edges of the original or paper.
•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, take care 
not to cut your hands or injure yourself on the parts on the inside of the 
machine. If you cannot remove the paper, please contact your local authorized 
Canon dealer.
•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, take care 
not to allow the toner on the jammed paper 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 may set the 
toner and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
•When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove 
the jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and 
getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash 
them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
