Toner Cartridge
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge
Note the following when handling the toner
cartridge.
Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is
flammable.
If there is a toner powder leakage, make sure not to inhale or
touch the toner powder. If it comes in contact with your skin,
rinse with cold water using soap. If you feel an irritation on
your skin or inhale the powder, consult a doctor immediately.
When removing the toner cartridge from the machine, make
sure to remove it carefully. If not removed with care, the toner
powder may scatter and come in contact with your eyes and
mouth. If this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor
immediately.
Keep the toner cartridge away from small children. If they
ingest the toner powder, consult a doctor immediately.
Do not disassemble the toner cartridge. The toner powder
may scatter and come in contact with your eyes and mouth. If
this happens, rinse with water and consult a doctor
immediately.
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 cartridge’s 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 place the toner cartridge in an upright or an upside
down position. If toner becomes caked in the toner cartridge,
it may become impossible to free it even by shaking the toner
cartridge.
For optimum print quality, when you replace toner cartridges,
using Canon genuine ones is recommended.
