NOTE
•The installed paper cassettes and multi-purpose tray usually become the target 
paper source when the printer feeds paper automatically. However, you can except 
them from the target paper source.
•If paper of the same size is loaded in 2 or more paper sources when the paper 
source setting is specified to be selected automatically, paper is fed from the upper 
paper source regardless of the status of the paper source indicators. When the 
paper source runs out of paper, the paper source switches to other one in which 
paper of the same size is loaded.
•If INVLDPAPER TRAY (See p. 5-20) is set to ON, the setting for this item is ignored, 
and the printer feeds paper from the multi-purpose tray when paper that is the 
same size as the paper size of the received data is not loaded in the selected paper 
source.
•When feeding paper from the multi-purpose tray, you need to specify the size of the 
loaded paper previously. The default value is A4.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
IMPORTANT
If the printing appears faint or inconsistent even when  or  does not appear, this may be due to any toner cartridge reaching the 
end of its life. Do not continue to use the toner cartridge and replace it with new a one 
when there is deterioration in print quality. When you replace a toner cartridge, be sure to 
use a toner cartridge designed for this printer.
NOTE
•Two types of toner cartridge that have different lifetime (Canon Genuine Cartridges) are 
av ailable for this printer.
•The lifetime of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) designed for this printer 
is approximately 6,000 pages or 12,000 pages. 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 diagrams, charts, or graphs, the life of the toner 
cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner.
*  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).
•This section describes the procedure, taking the toner cartridge with its lifetime of 
approximately 6,000 pages (Canon Genuine Cartridges) as an example.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
Replace the toner cartridge with a new one using the following procedure.
W ARNING
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 
cl othing, 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
•Dispose of the packing materials according to local regulations.
•Be sure to use only the toner cartridges designed for this printer.
NOTE
