Replacing the Cartridge
When the machine runs out of toner, the following screen appears on the touch panel 
display. 
When this happens, remove the cartridge from the machine and slowly shake it 
sideways to redistribute toner.
Reinstall the cartridge in the machine and print out a test page. If the error message 
still appears, follow the instructions shown on the screen and replace the cartridge.
If you press [Recover Later], you can continue operations, such as setting modes and 
scanning originals, without replacing the cartridge immediately.
Do not burn or throw used cartridges into open flames, as this may cause\
 the toner remaining inside the 
cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire. 
Do not store cartridges in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite, resulting in 
burns or a fire.
When discarding used cartridges, put the cartridges in a bag to prevent the toner remaining inside the 
cartridges from scattering, and dispose of them in a location away from \
open flames.
Do not touch the rollers and parts which have labels “CAUTION! Hot su\
rface avoid contact” on. They become 
very hot during use.
Keep toner out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested, con\
sult a physician immediately.
Take care not to allow toner to come into contact with your hands or clo\
thing. If toner gets onto your hands 
or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing it off with warm water will set the toner, and 
make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
When you are replacing a cartridge, be sure to use a cartridge designed for this product.
Do not replace cartridge until the message prompting you to do so appears.
Do not attempt to replace the cartridge while the machine is printing.
Complete instructions on how to replace the cartridge can be accessed by pressing [Previous] or [Next] on the

g the remaining pages automatically after 
you replace the cartridge.

Recycling Used Cartridges
Canon has instituted a worldwide recycling program for cartridges 
called “The Clean Earth Campaign”. This program preserves precious 
natural resources by utilizing a variety of materials found in the 
used cartridges that are of no further use, to remanufacture new 
cartridges which, at the same time, keeps the environment cleaner 
by reducing landfill waste. Complete details concerning this program 
are enclosed in each Cartridge box.
The Clean Earth Campaign
THE Canon CARTRIDGE RECYCLING PROGRAM
The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program fulfills the first initiative of Canon’s Clean Earth 
Campaign, which supports four critical environmental areas:
Recycling in the Workplace
Conserving Environmental Resources
Scientific Research and Education
Encouraging Outdoors Appreciation
The remaining “Clean Earth” initiatives are supported in the U.S. through sponsorships of 
the National Park Foundation, the National Wildlife Federation, and The Nature Conservancy 
and in Canada through donations to the World Wildlife Fund Canada and The Nature 
Conservancy of Canada.

Since its inception, The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program has collected huge amount 
of cartridges that otherwise would have been discarded into landfills or similar facilities. 
Instead, this rapidly growing program returns used cartridges to the manufacturing 
process, thus conserving an array of resources.
Becoming a part of this worthwhile program is easy. When your cartridge is of no further 
use, simply follow the instructions detailed for U.S. or Canadian residents. 
We appreciate your support of The Canon Cartridge Recycling Program. 
Working together we can make a significant contribution to a cleaner planet.
Cartridges collected through this program are not refilled.
You are not entitled to a tax deduction or rebate for the return of empty cartridges.
This program may be modified or discontinued without notice.
