Maintenance Instructions



Cleaning the Machine

If the original is not copied clearly, clean the machine. For high-quality printouts, we recommend cleaning the machine once or twice a month.


Remark
  • Do not use alcohol, benzene, paint thinner, or other solvents for cleaning. Doing so may result in damage to the plastic parts.
  • Do not use tissue paper, paper towels, or similar materials for cleaning; they can stick to the components or generate static charges.
  • Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet regularly, and clean the area around the base of the power plug's metal pins and the power outlet with a dry cloth to ensure that all dust and grime is removed. If the power cord is connected for a long period of time in a damp, dusty, or smoky location, dust can build up around the power plug and become damp. This may cause a short circuit and result in a fire.
  • You cannot send or receive documents when the main power switch is turned off or the power cord is disconnected.
  • If the main power switch is turned ON, all jobs waiting in the print queue will be erased.
  • Documents received into memory and documents stored for delayed send will be retained for approximately 60 minutes after the power cord has been disconnected.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge with a New One

Return to Overview

If any of the following messages appears, replace the toner cartridge of the indicated color with a new one.

<Replace the toner cartridge. (Black)>: Replace the black toner cartridge.
<Replace the toner cartridge. (Yellow)>: Replace the yellow toner cartridge.
<Replace the toner cartridge. (Cyan)>: Replace the cyan toner cartridge.
<Replace the toner cartridge. (Magenta)>: Replace the magenta toner cartridge.

  1. Open the front cover by using the handle (A).
  • The toner cartridges are installed in order of black, yellow, cyan, and magenta from the top as shown in the figure.

  1. Place paper (LTR size paper is recommended) on the transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit (A) as shown in the figure and be sure that they do not move out of place.
  • When installing or removing the toner cartridges, be sure to place paper on the transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit to protect the belt.
  • Do not place any object on or touch the transfer belt (A) of the delivery feeder unit. The transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit has a self cleaning function, therefore, do not clean the belt even when the toner is on it. If the delivery feeder unit is broken or transfer belt is damaged, this may result in misfeeds or deterioration in print quality.



  1. Hold the blue tabs on the both sides of toner cartridge, and pull it horizontally.
  • Do not touch the high-voltage contact (A) or the electrical contacts (B), as this may result in damage to the printer.



  1. Take the new toner cartridge out of the protective bag after taking it out of the package.

There is a cut near the arrow on the protective bag, so you can open it by hand. However, if you cannot open it by hand, use scissors to open the protective bag so as not to damage the toner cartridge.

  1. Gently rock the toner cartridge several times to evenly distribute the toner inside.
  1. Place the toner cartridge on a flat surface, fold back the tab of the sealing tape (A) located at left side of the toner cartridge.
  1. Remove the sealing tape (approx. 18 7/8 inch long) gently by hooking your fingers into the tab and pulling it out straight in the direction of the arrow.
  • Do not pull the seal out at an angle.

  • Do not open the drum protective shutter (A).

  • If the sealing tape is pulled out forcefully or stopped at midpoint, toner may spill out. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
  • If toner is adhered to the removed seal, be careful not to dirty your hands or clothing by touching it.
  • If your hands or clothes get dirty from touching the toner, wash them immediately in cold water. Do not use hot water. Doing so may cause the toner to set permanently.
  1. Hook your finger into the tab and remove the packing materials (A) located at right side of the toner cartridge.
  1. Hold the toner cartridge properly by the blue tabs on the both sides with the arrowed side facing up.
  • Do not hold the toner cartridge in a manner that is not directed in this procedure.

  1. Align (A) of the toner cartridge that you want to replace with the slots (B) to which the label of the same color is attached, then insert the cartridge until it stops.
  1. After removing all the packing materials on the each toner cartridges and installing the cartridges, remove the paper on the transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit.
  • When removing the paper, be careful not to touch or damage the transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit.
  1. Close the front cover.

  • If the front cover does not close properly, do not force it to close. Open the cover and make sure the toner cartridge is properly set in the machine.


Recycling Used Cartridges

Canon has instituted a worldwide recycling program for cartridges called "The Clean Earth Campaign." This program preserves precious natural resources by utilizing a variety of materials found in the used cartridges that are of no further use, to remanufacture new cartridges which, at the same time, keeps the environment cleaner by reducing landfill waste. Complete details concerning this program are enclosed in each Cartridge box.

Correcting Gradation

Return to Overview

You can recalibrate the machine when you notice irregularities in the color of the copies or prints, such as when copies turn out to be different from the original in gradation, density, or color.

The following three types of gradation corrections can be made:

  • Full Correction (Recommended)

This recalibrates the gradation for both copies and prints.

  • Quick Correction

This is a simple and temporary correction until next time a Full Correction is performed. Quick Correction recalibrates the gradation for both copies and prints. If the recalibration is insufficient, perform a Full Correction.

  • Copy Image Correction

This recalibrates the gradation for copies. If the recalibration is insufficient, perform a Full Correction.


Full Correction
