Replacing Drum Cartridges
NOTE
•
The lifetime of the drum cartridges (Canon Genuine Drum Cartridges) used by this
printer is as follows.
The numbers of the pages are estimated when printing in the following conditions.
Paper size: A4; Paper type: Plain paper; Printing ratio: 5 %; Print density: the default;
Continuous/1-sided Printing
- Black: Approx. 50,000 pages
- Yellow: Approx. 50,000 pages
- Magenta: Approx. 50,000 pages
- Cyan: Approx. 50,000 pages
•
When printing at interval of 2 sheets (2-sheet intermittent printing), the lifetime of the
drum cartridges (Canon Genuine Drum Cartridges) for this printer is approximately
45,000 pages for the black toner and approximately 40,000 pages for each color toner.
These values are the number of pages that you can print when performing only color
printing.
Even when printing in black and white, each of the color drum cartridges is consumed.
Therefore, when printing in black and white a lot, the lifetime of each of the color drum
cartridges may be half the number of pages you can print.
•
Depending on the printing preferences or printing environment such as the intermit
printing, paper type, paper size, and 1-sided / 2-sided printing, the number of pages you
can print may be half the number.
Precautions on Replacing a Drum Cartridge
WARNING
•
Do not throw a used drum cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the
toner remaining inside the cartridge to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•
There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages.
When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do
not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the
printer, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
•
The drum cartridge generates a low level magnetic field. If you use a cardiac
pacemaker and feel abnormalities, please move away from the drum cartridge
and consult your physician immediately.
CAUTION
•
Take care not to allow the toner to come into contact with your hands or
clothing, 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.
