Toner Cartridge
The lifetime of the Canon genuine starter toner cartridge which comes with the 
machine is approximately 2,500 pages, the Canon genuine replacement toner 
cartridge is approximately 5,000 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 graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner 
cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner. When you are replacing a toner 
cartridge, be sure to use a toner cartridge designed for this product. To purchase 
the Canon genuine replacement toner cartridge, contact your local Canon dealer or 
Canon Customer Care Center (U.S.A.:1-800-828-4040, Canada:1-800-652-2666).
* “ISO/IEC 19752” is the global standard related to “Method for t\
he determination of toner cartridge yield 
for monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function device\
s that may contain printer 
components” issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardiz\
ation).

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The 
magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items.
Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in 
temperature.
Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five 
minutes.
Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to 
install the toner cartridge in the machine.
Save the toner cartridge’s protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the 
toner cartridge at a later date.
Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases 
such as from aerosol sprays.
Do not remove the toner cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may 
deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective 
shutter.
Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner 
becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by 
shaking the toner cartridge.
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 cartridge from the machine, make sure to remove it 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 cartridge away from small children. If they ingest the toner powder, 
consult a doctor immediately.
Do not disassemble the toner cartridge. 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.
Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.
