Replacing the Toner Cartridge
This section describes how to replace or handle the toner cartridge, as well as
precautions on storing it.
Contact the store where you purchased the printer to obtain replacement toner
cartridges.
IMPORTANT
A warning message does not appear on your computer even if the toner cartridge is
reaching its lifetime. The case where white streaks appear on printed paper in
longitudinal direction, or printed paper comes out faint or uneven can be used to estimate
when the toner cartridge will need to be replaced. When you are replacing the toner
cartridge, be sure to use a toner cartridge exclusively designed for this printer.
NOTE
•
The lifetime of the toner cartridges (Canon Genuine Cartridges) designed for this printer
is approximately 3,000 pages or 7,000 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 diagrams, charts, or graphs, the life of the toner cartridge will
be shorter as they consume more toner.
* "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).
