Replacing the FX3 cartridge
The only component of your machine you will need to replace is the FX3 cartridge.
Although Canon manufactures many different cartridges, the FX3 cartridge is the only
one designed for use with your machine. To purchase this cartridge, contact the Canon
Customer Care Center.
When
CHANGE CARTRIDGE appears in the LCD, you may need to replace the
cartridge. However, it may also indicate that the toner inside the cartridge is simply
unevenly distributed. Before replacing the cartridge, follow this procedure to distribute
the toner evenly:
1 Remove the cartridge from the
machine (1 steps 1 to 4, below).
2 Gently rock the 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.
3 Reinsert the cartridge into the
machine (1 steps 8 and 9, p. 12-8).
If after following the procedure above, CHANGE CARTRIDGE remains in the LCD or
print quality does not improve, follow this procedure to replace the cartridge:
1 Remove any documents and printouts from the machine.
2 Make sure the machine is plugged in.
3 Lift the latch and open the front cover.
c
Do not try to open the front cover
without lifting the latch since this
may damage your machine.
