What Can I Do with This Machine?
Laser Safety
This machine complies with 21 CFR Chapter 1 Subchapter J as a Class 1 laser 
product under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Radiation 
Performance Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 
1968. This means that the machine does not produce hazardous radiation.
Since radiation emitted inside the machine is completely confined within protective 
housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from the machine during 
any phase of user operation.
CDRH Regulations
The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of the U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration implemented regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These 
regulations apply to laser products manufactured from August 1, 1976. Compliance is 
mandatory for products marketed in the United States.
CAUTION
Use of controls, adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified in this manual may 
result in hazardous radiation exposure.
The label is attached to the laser scanner machine inside the machine and is not in a 
user access area.

Toner Cartridge
The lifetime of the Canon Genuine starter toner cartridge which comes with the 
machine is approximately 2,500 pages, the Canon genuine replacement toner 
cartridge is approximately 5,000 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 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.

Before Using the Machine
●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.
