Toner Cartridge
The lifetime of the Canon Genuine toner cartridge used in this machine is
approximately 2,000 pages. The page counts are on the basis of ISO/IEC 19752*
when printing A4 size paper with the default print density setting. The level of toner
consumption varies depending on the type of documents printed. If your average
document contains a lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner cartridge
will be shorter as they consume more toner. When you are replacing a toner
cartridge, be sure to use a toner cartridge designed for this product. To purchase a
new Canon genuine toner cartridge, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or
Canon help line.
* ISO/IEC 19752 is the global standard related to Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield
for monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that may contain printer
components issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization).

CAUTION
1-8
Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks.
The magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items.
Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in
temperature.
Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five
minutes.
Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are
ready to install the toner cartridge in the machine.
Save the toner cartridges protective bag in case you need to repack and transport
the toner cartridge at a later date.
Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive
gases such as from aerosol sprays.
Do not remove the toner cartridge from the machine unnecessarily.
Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may
deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged.
Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective
shutter.
Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner
becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by
shaking the toner cartridge.

Paper Guidelines
To prevent paper jams, do not use any of the following:
Wrinkled or creased paper
Curled or rolled paper
Coated paper
Torn paper
Damp paper
Very thin paper
Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on
the reverse side.)
The following types of paper do not print well:
Highly textured paper
Very smooth paper
Shiny paper
Make sure the paper is free from dust, lint, and oil stains.
Be sure to test paper before purchasing large quantities.
Store all paper wrapped and on a flat surface until ready for use. Keep opened packs
in their original packaging in a cool, dry location.
Store paper at 18C24C, 40%60% relative humidity.
Use only the transparencies designed for laser printers. Canon recommends you to
use Canon type transparencies with this machine.

Loading Paper
To load paper in the paper feeding tray, see Set Up the Paper Trays and Load
Paper, in the Starter Guide.
Spread the paper guides a little wider than the actual paper width.
3-4
Print Media
NOTE
The paper in the multi-purpose tray is fed prior to the paper in the paper feeding tray.
The recommended envelopes are COM10, MONARCH, DL, and ISO-C5. Using other envelopes may
affect the quality of the printout.
Make sure to set the correct paper size in the printer driver. (See Online Help.)
When setting a paper, gently insert the paper into the multi-purpose tray
with the print side up.
Print Media
NOTE
When you load paper with a logo on, position the paper with the print side up (logo side) and insert
it so that the top of the paper feeds first in the multi-purpose tray.
When setting an envelope, gently insert the envelope into the multipurpose tray with the print side up and the right edge (i.e., closer to the
stamp) first.
3-5
Slide the paper guides so that they fit to both sides of the paper.
NOTE
Specify the size and the type of the paper you load.
For details on how to specify the paper size and type, see Setting Paper Size and Type, on p. 3-7.
