Maintenance CHAPTER This chapter describes how to store paper, change the toner cartridge, and perform routine cleaning. Storing Recording Paper ........... . 6-2 Recommended Paper .
Storing Recording Paper Use only paper recommended by Canon or paper of similar quality, and store it carefully. For instructions on how to load the recording paper, see “Loading Paper into the Paper Cassettes”, on p. 1-41, and “Loading Paper into the MP Tray”, on p. 2-16.
Changing the Toner Cartridge When the toner runs low in the toner cartridge, the following message is displayed: REPLACE CARTRIDGE NOTE • The machine may be set to continue printing or store the remainder of a document being received into memory.

Open the printer cover, remove the old cartridge, and discard it. WARNING • Do not incinerate the cartridge. Scattered toner powder is highly flammable. • Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as they may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
Page 155
While holding the cartridge by the ends, rock it gently five or six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Place the cartridge on a stable, flat, clean surface, and snap the tab on the side to detach it from the cartridge. As you steady the cartridge with one hand, remove the tape by gently pulling the plastic tab straight out with your other hand.
