Replacing the Waste Toner Container

When the waste toner container nears capacity, a message appears on the touch panel display.
In this case, you should prepare a new waste toner container.
Even if you do not replace the waste toner container immediately, you can perform printing for a while. The number of prints you can make depends on the content you print.

When the waste toner container is full, a screen with instructions on how to replace the waste toner container appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the waste toner container.

WARNING
Do not burn or throw used waste toner containers into open flames. Also, do not store waste toner containers in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire. If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully wipe up the loose toner with a damp, soft cloth and avoid inhaling any toner dust. Do not use a vacuum cleaner that is not equipped with safety measures to prevent dust explosions to clean up loose toner. Doing so may cause damage to the vacuum cleaner or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.

CAUTION
If toner is ingested, consult a physician immediately. If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing it off with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.

IMPORTANT
Your local authorized Canon dealer will dispose of used waste toner containers. Used toner cannot be reused. Do not mix new and used toner together. Use only waste toner containers intended for use with this machine. Do not replace the waste toner container before the message prompting you to replace it appears on the touch panel display.

NOTE
If the waste toner container must be replaced during a print job, the remaining prints are made after the new waste toner container is installed.
