Handling the toner cartridges without due care may result in damage to the toner cartridges or deterioration in print quality.
Observe the following precautions when handling the toner cartridges.
WARNING
Do not dispose of used toner cartridges in open flames

This may cause the toner remaining inside the cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or fire.
CAUTION
Precautions if you get toner on your hands or clothing

If toner gets on your hands or clothing, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water sets the toner, making it impossible to remove the toner stains.

  • Do not touch the drum.
    Touching or damaging the photosensitive drum inside the toner cartridge may result in deterioration in print quality.
  • Do not touch or jolt the toner cartridge memory (A).
  • Do not touch or hold the sensor (B).
  • Do not touch or hold the electrical contacts (C).
Precautions when installing or removing the toner cartridges
  • When removing the toner cartridges, be sure to immediately place them into the original protective bag or wrap them with a thick cloth.
  • When replacing a toner cartridge, be sure to replace the toner cartridge of the same color.
  • Do not expose the toner cartridges to direct sunlight or strong light.
  • Do not disassemble or modify the toner cartridges.
  • Condensation (water droplets on the inside or outside) may form on the toner cartridges when brought into an environment with a sudden change in temperature or humidity.
    When moving a new toner cartridge to a location with a higher temperature or humidity, leave the cartridge in the protective bag at the new location for two hours to allow it to adjust to the new environment.
  • Keep toner cartridges away from products that generate magnetic waves, such as a computer or computer display.

Be careful of counterfeit toners

Please be aware that there are counterfeit Canon toners in the marketplace. Use of counterfeit toner may result in poor print quality or machine performance. Canon is not responsible for any malfunction, accident or damage caused by the use of non-genuine Canon toner or counterfeit toner.
