Replacing the Waste Toner Container
When the waste toner container nears capacity, a message appears on the touch panel display.
In this case, you should prepare a new waste toner container.
When the waste toner container is full, a screen with instructions on how to replace the waste toner container appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the waste toner container.
Even if you do not replace the waste toner container immediately, you can perform printing for a while. The number of prints you can make depends on the content you print.
However, if you continue printing, an error will occur and you will become unable to print.
WARNING
Do not burn or throw used waste toner containers into open flames. Also, do not store waste toner containers in places exposed to 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
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
Your local authorized Canon dealer will dispose of used waste toner containers. Use the provided cover to cover up the opening of the used waste toner container.
Used toner cannot be reused. Do not mix new and used toner together.
Use only waste toner containers intended for use with this machine.
