Replacing the Toner Cartridge

Routine Maintenance

This section describes how to replace and handle the toner cartridge and 
precautions on storing it.

Contact the store where you purchased the printer to obtain replacement toner 
cartridges.

IMPORTANT

Even when the toner cartridge is nearing the end of its life, there are no messages 
displayed on the computer. If white stripes appear lengthways along the paper, or if the 
printed text becomes faint or patchy, you may need to replace the toner cartridge. When 
replacing toner cartridges, only use toner cartridges that are specifically designed for this 
printer.

NOTE

The lifetime of the toner cartridges for this printer (Canon Genuine Parts) is 
approximately 2000 sheets of A4 prints. This page count is for standard printing (page 
coverage: approx. 5%, print density: factory default setting). The level of toner 
consumption varies depending on the type and content of documents printed. Because 
documents that contain few areas of white space, such as figures, tables and graphs, 
consume larger amounts of toner, toner cartridge life will be reduced if you print large 
amounts of this kind of document.

Toner cartridges are consumable parts. If there is not enough toner in the toner 
cartridge, white stripes will appear lengthways on the paper and printed text will 
appear faint or patchy. If you experience any of these symptoms, try the following 
actions before replacing the toner cartridge. This may allow you to print for a while 
longer until the toner is completely spent.
