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.
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.
•
The [Consumables/Counters] dialog box in the Printer Status Window can be used to
estimate when toner cartridges will need to be replaced. The status of each of the color
toner cartridges is displayed in the [Consumables/Counters] dialog box. For details on
the [Consumables/Counters] dialog box, see "[Consumables/Counters] Menu," on p. 4-
91.
