Consumables

This section describes the consumables of the machine and the estimated timing for replacing them. Purchase consumables at your local authorized Canon dealer. Observe safety and health precautions when storing and handling consumables (Consumables). For optimum print quality, using Canon genuine Toner, Cartridge and Parts is recommended.


Depending on the installation environment, printing paper size, or document type, you may need to replace consumables before the end of the estimated lifetime. To maintain print quality, the machine performs automatic calibration in accordance with changes in the environmental conditions. The machine may also perform automatic calibration when turned ON and after recovering from sleep mode. Calibration uses toner and may result in a decrease of lifetime of the toner cartridges. The color toner cartridges are used even during black and white printing. Therefore, increased black and white printing may decrease the number of printable pages for each color.
