Before Using the Machine Toner Cartridge The lifetime of the Canon Genuine starter toner cartridge which comes with the machine is approximately 2,500 pages, the Canon genuine replacement toner cartridge is approximately 5,000 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.
● 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.
