Replacing Toner Cartridges
* Black, yellow, magenta, or cyan will appear in (Toner Color) (More than one color may appear.).
IMPORTANT
If the printing appears faint or inconsistent even when a message 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 one when there is deterioration in print quality. 
When you are replacing a toner cartridge, be sure to use a toner cartridge designed for 
this printer.
NOTE
•The lifetime of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) used in this printer are 
as follows. The numbers of the pages are estimated when printing in the following 
conditions.
Printing ratio: 5%; Print density: the default; Paper size: A4; Paper type: Plain paper
For both the toner cartridges that are included with the printer and replacement toner 
cartridges
-Black: Approx. 2,500 pages
-Yellow: Approx. 2,000 pages
-Magenta: Approx. 2,000 pages
-Cyan: Approx. 2,000 pages
•Depending on the printing preferences or printing environment such as the intermittency 
of printing, paper types and paper sizes, the number of pages you can print may be half 
this number.
•When the toner consumption is low due to low printing ratio, printing of the expected 
number of print pages may not be able to be achieved. Also, if you print in color, more 
than one cartridges may reach the end of their life at the same time.
•Even if you print in black and white, this may affect the life of the cartridges of magenta, 
yellow, and cyan due to the printer structure.

When a toner 
cartridge has reached 
the end of its life- When the black toner cartridge 
has reached the end of its life, 
the printer stops printing, and 
you cannot continue the job.
- When any of the toner 
cartridges (other than black) has 
reached the end of its life, you 
can print only in black and white.
- Replace the toner cartridge of 
the indicated color with a new 
one.
