Setting Up Your Machine

Do not store the cartridge in direct sunlight.

Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in temperature. Store the cartridge between 0° and 35°C.

Hold the cartridge as shown so that your hand is not touching the drum’s protective shutter.

Store the cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install the cartridge in the machine.

Save the protective bag. You may need to repack and transport the cartridge at a later date.

Do not store the cartridge in salty air or where there are corrosive gases such as from aerosol sprays.

Do not remove the cartridge from the machine unless necessary.

Be sure to remove the toner cartridge from the machine when disposing of the machine.

CAUTION

Installing/Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The machine uses the Canon Cartridge T. The procedure on the next page explains how to install the cartridge for the first time, and how to replace it when the toner runs out.

When the message <REPLACE CARTRIDGE> appears, the toner in the cartridge may simply be unevenly distributed. Before replacing the cartridge, follow the instructions on p. 2-19 to evenly distribute the toner. If the message remains displayed or the print quality is low, after doing this replace the cartridge as described below.

NOTE

Canon makes numerous cartridges. However, the Canon genuine Cartridge T Starter and the Canon genuine regular Cartridge T are the only one which Canon recommends you to use with your machine. The Canon genuine Cartridge T Starter that comes with your machine can yield approx. 2,500 page of printouts (based on 5% coverage of a A4-size page), while the Canon genuine Cartridge T you purchase can yield approx. 3,500 page of printouts (based on 5% coverage of a A4-size page). But the Canon genuine Cartridge T Starter is identical to the Canon genuine regular Cartridge T otherwise.

1 Remove any documents and/or printed pages from the machine.

2 Make sure the machine is plugged in.

3 Remove the cartridge from the bag. Keep the bag in a safe place for future use.
