Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the message <Replace toner cartridge.> is displayed on the touch panel display, press on the bottom right and replace the toner cartridge.
When the toners run out completely and prints can no longer be made, a screen with instructions on how to replace the toner cartridge appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the toner cartridge.
If you press [Close], you can continue operations, such as setting modes and scanning originals, even if you do not replace the toner cartridge immediately.
WARNING
Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.
CAUTION
Keep toner out of the reach of small children.
If toner is ingested, consult a physician immediately.
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.
IMPORTANT
Use only toner cartridges intended for use with this machine.
For information on the supported Canon genuine toner, see "Consumables."
Do not replace toner cartridges until the message prompting you to do so appears.
Do not attempt to replace the toner cartridge while the machine is printing.
