Precautions for Handling the Toner Cartridge
The toner cartridge consists of delicate parts. Handling the toner cartridge without 
caution may lead to damage to the toner cartridge or a deterioration in print quality. 
Be careful of the following points when removing or installing the toner cartridge.
WARNING
Do not burn or 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
•Print quality may deteriorate if you touch or damage the drum inside the toner cartridge. 
Be careful not to touch the drum or open the drum protective shutter. Be careful not to 
hold or touch the portions that are not described in this procedure. This may result in 
damage to the printer.
•Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or strong light.
•When handling the toner cartridge, properly hold it with an arrow face up as shown in the 
figure. Do not set it vertically or upside-down.
•Never attempt to disassemble or modify the toner cartridge.
•If the toner cartridge is brought to an environment where the temperature differs 
extremely, condensation may occur both inside and outside of the toner cartridge. If you 
are going to install in a warm room the toner cartridge that was stored in a cold place, 
leave the toner cartridge stored in the protective bag for over one hour so that it can 
adapt to the ambient temperature.
•Be sure to use a new toner cartridge within the expiration date indicated on the package.
•Using a genuine Canon toner cartridge is recommended.
•Keep the toner cartridge away from the products that generate magnetic waves, such as 
a display or computer.
•A toner cartridge is a magnetic product. Keep the toner cartridge away from products that 
may be damaged by magnetic waves, such as a floppy disk or disk drive. This may lead 
to damage to data.

Storing the Toner Cartridge
Be careful of the following points for storing a new toner cartridge or handling the 
toner cartridge that are taken out of the printer for maintenance or transportation.
IMPORTANT
•Do not take a new toner cartridge out of the protective bag until it is ready to be used.
•If you take the toner cartridge out of the printer for servicing the printer or removing paper 
jams, place the toner cartridge into the original protective bag, or wrap it with a thick cloth 
immediately.
•Do not place it vertically or upside-down. Store the toner cartridge in the same 
orientation as when installed in the printer.
•Do not store the toner cartridge in a place exposed to direct sunlight.
•Do not store the toner cartridge in a hot or humid place, or a place where the 
temperature and humidity can change significantly.
•Storing temperature range: 0 to 35 °C (32 to 95 °F)
•Storing humidity range: 35 to 85 % RH (no condensation)
•Do not store the toner cartridge in a place where corrosive gases, such as ammonia, are 
generated, or where a considerable amount of salt is contained in the air, or where there 
is a lot of dust.
•Keep the toner cartridge out of the reach of small children.
•Keep the toner cartridge away from products that may be damaged by magnetic waves, 
such as a floppy disk or disk drive.
■Condensation
Even within the storable humidity range, water drops may develop both inside and outside 
of the toner cartridge due to the difference in temperature. The development of water 
drops is called condensation. Condensation will adversely affect the quality of the toner 
cartridge.

Cleaning the Printer
While you use the printer for a long period of time, when you find dust or dirt on the 
outer surfaces, clean the printer. When cleaning the printer, be careful of the 
following points in order to prevent an electrical shock or printer malfunctions.

cable, then unplug the power plug. Failure to observe these steps may result in 
a fire or electrical shock.
•Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other flammable substances.
