Replacing the Toner Cartridge
NOTE
The lifetime of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) designed for this printer 
is as follows. The page counts are on the basis of ISO/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 
graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner cartridge will be shorter as they consume 
more toner.
-The toner cartridge included with the printer: Approximately 6,000 pages
-The replacement toner cartridge
Cartridge 309: Approximately 12,000 pages
*ISO/IEC 19752 is the global standard related to Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for 
monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that may contain printer 
components issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization).
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
Replace the toner cartridge with a new one using the following procedure.
WARNING
Do not throw a used toner cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the 
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
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.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to use only the toner cartridges designed for this printer.
NOTE
•For details on handling the toner cartridge, see Precautions for Handling Toner 
Cartridge, on p. 5-12.
•The packing materials may be changed in form or position to be placed, or may be added 
or removed without notice.
