Replacing the Toner Cartridge
The only component of your FAX you will need to replace is the FX3 toner
cartridge. Although Canon manufactures many different toner cartridges, the FX3
toner cartridge is the only one designed for use with your FAX. To purchase this toner
cartridge, contact your local authorised Canon dealer or the Canon help line.
When
CHANGE CARTRIDGE
appears in the LCD, you may need to replace the toner
cartridge. However, it may also indicate that the toner inside the toner cartridge is
simply unevenly distributed. Before replacing the toner cartridge, follow this
procedure to distribute the toner evenly:
If after following the procedure above,
CHANGE CARTRIDGE
remains in the LCD or
print quality does not improve, follow this procedure to replace the toner cartridge:
1Remove the toner cartridge from the
FAX ( steps 1 to 4, below).
2Gently rock the toner cartridge from
side to side a few times to distribute the
toner evenly inside it.
Poor print quality may result if the
toner is unequally distributed.
3Reinsert the toner cartridge into the
FAX ( steps 8 and 9,p. 128).
1Remove any documents and printouts
from the FAX.
2Make sure the FAX is plugged in.
3Lift the latch and open the front cover.
Do not open the front cover without
lifting the latch since this may
damage your unit.
