Maintaining the Toner Cartridges
Note the following when handling toner cartridges.
Do not place the toner cartridges in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
If there is a toner powder leakage, make sure not to inhale or touch the toner powder. If it comes in contact with your skin, rinse with 
cold water using soap. If you feel an irritation on your skin or inhale the powder, consult a doctor immediately.
When removing the toner cartridges from the machine, make sure to remove them carefully. If not removed with care, the toner 
powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes and mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor 
immediately.
Keep the toner cartridges away from small children. If they ingest the toner powder, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not disassemble the toner cartridges. The toner powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes and mouth. If this 
happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor immediately.
Keep the toner cartridges away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The magnets inside the toner cartridges may 
harm these items.
Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in temperature.
Do not expose the toner cartridges to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five minutes.
Store the toner cartridges in their protective bags. Do not open the bags until you are ready to install the toner cartridges in the 
machine.
Save the protective toner cartridge bags in case you need to repack and transport the toner cartridges at a later date.
Do not store the toner cartridges in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases such as from aerosol sprays.
Do not remove the toner cartridges from the machine unnecessarily.
Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridges. Print quality may deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light 
or is damaged.
Always hold the toner cartridges by their handles to avoid touching the drum protective shutter.
Do not place the toner cartridges in an upright or an upside down position. If toner becomes caked in the toner cartridges, it may 
become impossible to free it even by shaking the toner cartridges.

quality or poor printer performance. Please be advised that Canon is not responsible for any malfunction, accident, or damage
