Toner Cartridge
The lifetime of the Canon Genuine toner cartridge used in this machine is 
approximately 2,500 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 graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner cartridge 
will be shorter as they consume more toner. To purchase the Canon genuine 
replacement toner cartridge, contact your local Canon dealer or Canon Customer 
Care Center (1-800-828-4040).
* “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).

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
●Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. 
The magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items.
●Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in 
temperature.
●Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five 
minutes.
●Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are 
ready to install the toner cartridge in the machine.
●Save the toner cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport 
the toner cartridge at a later date.
●Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive 
gases such as from aerosol sprays.
●Do not remove the toner cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
●Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may 
deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
●Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective 
shutter.
●Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner 
becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by 
shaking the toner cartridge.
CAUTION
Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
