Storing Cartridges
❏Store a toner cartridge in the original box and protective bag until
you are ready to install it.
❏Store toner cartridges at a constant temperature within a range of
32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C). Do not store cartridges in locations subject
to extreme fluctuation of temperature and humidity.
❏ To prevent caking in the toner, never stand the cartridge on its end
and do not store it upside down. If the toner becomes caked as a
result of being stored in an odd position for too long, it may be
impossible to dissolve it completely even by shaking the cartridge.
❏Do not store the cartridge in salty or corrosive air.
❏Never attempt to disassemble a toner cartridge or attempt to refill it.
❏Make sure that you use a stored toner cartridge before the expiration
date printed on the toner cartridge box.
Disposing of Used Toner Cartridges
NEVER INCINERATE USED CARTRIDGES. SCATTERED TONER
POWDER IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
To protect the environment, Canon has started a special program to help
you dispose of your empty toner cartridges. After you install a toner
cartridge, keep the original packing material and the shipping label.
After a cartridge has been used up, fill out this label and call UPS for
pickup. UPS will pick up the empty toner cartridge at Canon’s expense
and return it to a recycling center. For details about this program, contact
an authorized Canon dealer in your area.
