Install Toner Cartridges

Return to Overview

This section describes the installation procedure for the toner cartridges. If you have already removed all shipping tape and packing materials from the machine as described in the "Unpacking the Machine" instruction sheet, go to "Connect the LAN Cable."

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



  1. Place two sheets (B) of LTR paper on the transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit (A) and make sure that they do not move out of place.
  • When installing or removing the toner cartridges, be sure to place the papers on the transfer belt of the delivery feeder unit to protect the belt.
  • Do not touch or place objects on the transfer belt (A) of the delivery feeder unit. The transfer belt comes with a self cleaning function so do not wipe the transfer belt even when toner can be seen attached to the belt. If the delivery feeder unit is broken or the 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 open the drum protective shutter (A).

  • Do not touch the high-voltage contact (A) or the electrical contacts (B), as this may result in damage to the printer.



  1. Gently rock the toner cartridge 5 to 6 times to evenly distribute the toner inside.
  • If toner is not distributed evenly, this may result in deterioration in print quality. Make sure to carry out this procedure properly.
  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 finger into the tab and pulling it out straight in the direction of the arrow.
  • 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 material (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 described in this procedure.

  1. Align the guides (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 from each toner cartridge and installing the cartridges, remove the papers 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.
  • Be careful not to get your fingers caught.
  • 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.

About User Software CD-ROM

Return to Overview

  • Drivers

Details about each drivers installation can be found in the corresponding HTML manuals listed in the Manuals subsection below.

  • UFRII LT Driver

Using the UFRII LT Driver, the various data processing tasks conventionally executed within the printer are appropriately divided between the host PC and the printer to greatly reduce the overall printing time. The workload can be delegated to match the output data, thus realizing a significant increase in speed through optimization.

  • FAX Driver

The FAX Driver is conceptually akin to a printer driver. A user selects [Print] from any Windows application software, selects the Canon fax driver as the printer, and specifies its destination(s) and options. The FAX Driver then converts this into an image that conforms to standard fax protocols, to be printed or stored on the recipient fax machine(s).

  • PCL Printer Driver (Color imageCLASS MF9170c Only)

This is Hewlett-Packard's PCL printer driver, which includes the PCL5c, and PCL6 drivers. The PCL5c printer driver is for color printers, while the PCL6 printer driver is for black-and-white printer. PCL6 is an advanced version of PCL5e and offers superior printing quality and speed. This machine supports the PCL5c and PCL6 printer drivers.

  • Color Network ScanGear
