Replacing the Toner Cartridge - Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C2230/C2225 e-Manual

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

When there is only a small amount of toner remaining inside the machine, a message appears on the touch panel display. You can continue printing, but at this time you should purchase a new toner cartridge to have it available when needed.

When all of the toners run out completely and prints can no longer be made, a screen with instructions on how to replace the toner cartridge appears on the touch panel display. Follow the procedure described below to replace the toner cartridge.

If you press [Close], you can continue operations, such as setting modes and scanning originals, even if you do not replace the toner cartridge immediately.

WARNING
Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire. If you accidentally spill or scatter toner, carefully gather the toner particles together or wipe them up with a soft, damp cloth in a way that prevents inhalation. Never use a vacuum cleaner that does not have safeguards against dust explosions to clean up spilled toner. Doing so may cause a malfunction in the vacuum cleaner, or result in a dust explosion due to static discharge.

CAUTION
Keep toner out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested, consult a physician immediately. If toner gets onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing it off with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.

IMPORTANT
Use only toner cartridges intended for use with this machine. For information on the supported Canon genuine toner, see "Consumables." Do not replace toner cartridges until the message prompting you to do so appears. Do not attempt to replace the toner cartridge while the machine is printing. The color of the toner to be replaced is displayed on the touch panel display. If multiple toner cartridges must be replaced, replace the toner cartridges in the following order:Black, Yellow, Magenta, Cyan. If you continue copying or printing in black-and-white after cyan, magenta, or yellow toner runs out, do not remove the depleted toner cartridges from the machine. You can set the machine to display a message indicating that the remaining toner is low. (See "Displaying the Remaining Toner Error Message," and "Deleting the Remaining Toner Error Message")
