Handling and Storing Cartridges
•Do not open the drum protective shutter on the cartridge. If the drum surface is exposed to light and 
damaged, print quality may deteriorate.•Do not stand the cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes caked in the 
cartridge, it may prove impossible to free it even by shaking the cartridge.•Keep the cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The magnet inside the 
cartridge may harm these items.•Never touch the drum protective shutter. When holding the cartridge, avoid touching the drum 
protective shutter with your hands.

•Do not expose the cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for longer than 5 minutes.•Do not store the cartridge in direct sunlight.•Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in temperature. Store the 
cartridge between 0° and 35°C.•Hold the cartridge as shown so that your hand is not touching the drum’s protective shutter.•Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install the 
cartridge in the machine.•Save the protective bag. You may need to repack and transport the cartridge at a later date.•Do not store the cartridge in salty air or where there are corrosive gases such as from aerosol 
sprays.•Do not remove the cartridge from the machine unless necessary.•Be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the machine when disposing of the machine.
CAUTIONDO NOT PLACE THE CARTRIDGE IN FIRE. TONER POWDER IS FLAMMABLE.
Installing/Replacing the Toner Cartridge
The machine uses the Canon Cartridge T. The procedure on the next page explains how to install the 
cartridge for the first time, and how to replace it when the toner runs out.
When the message  appears, the toner in the cartridge may simply be 
unevenly distributed. Before replacing the cartridge, follow the instructions on p. 2-19 to evenly 
distribute the toner. If the message remains displayed or the print quality is low, after doing this replace 
the cartridge as described below.
NOTECanon makes numerous cartridges. However, the Canon genuine Cartridge T Star ter and the Canon genuine 
regular Cartridge T are the only one which Canon recommends you to use with your machine. The Canon genuine 
Cartridge T Starter that comes with your machine can yield approx. 2,500 page of printouts (based on 5% 
coverage of a A4-size page), while the Canon genuine Cartridge T you purchase can yield approx. 3,500 page of 
printouts (based on 5% coverage of a A4-size page). But the Canon genuine Cartridge T Starter is identical to the 
Canon genuine regular Cartridge T otherwise.
1
Remove any documents and/or printed pages from the machine.
2
Make sure the machine is plugged in.
3
Remove the cartridge from the bag. Keep the bag in a safe place for future use.

							Loading Recording Paper

Setting Up Your Machine2
Loading Recording Paper
When the message  appears in the LCD display, you need to add paper to the 
paper cassette. Here are a few tips you should follow when you load paper into the paper cassette.•Be sure to load paper of the correct size, weight, and quantity recommended for your machine. (See 
Chapter 4, “Paper Handling.”)•Stack the paper so that the top and bottom edges and sides are straight and even before placing it in 
the paper cassette.•Do not print on both sides of the paper. Doing so may cause several sheets to feed into the machine 
at the same time.•Let the paper run out before you refill the paper cassette.•Avoid mixing new stock with paper already loaded in the paper cassette. When adding new stock to 
the cassette, be sure to remove the remaining paper in the cassette and reload it together with the 
new stock. Failure to do so may cause paper jams.
NOTE•Do not use damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper as these can cause paper jams or poor print quality. •Highly textured, extremely smooth or shiny paper does not print well.•The laser printing process uses high temperatures to fuse toner to the paper. Use paper that will not melt, 
vaporize, discolor, or emit dangerous fumes at temperatures near 170°C. For example, do not use vellum paper in 
a laser printer. Make sure any letterhead or colored paper you use can withstand high temperatures.•Make sure the paper is free of dust, lint, and oil stains.•To keep the paper from curling, do not open paper packs until you are ready to use the paper. Store unused paper 
from opened packs in a cool, dry location in the original packaging.•Your machine is factory-set to use A4-size paper in the paper cassette. 
If you wish to use different sized paper, you must change the setting using the  menu. 
See p. 16-2 for more details.•Refer to Chapter 4, “Paper Handling,” for more details on the types of media you can load in the paper cassette.CAUTIONDo not load paper in the multi-purpose feeder when the machine is printing.
