Storage Precautions
• Do not store cartridges or copy paper in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the
toner or copy paper to ignite and resulting in burns or a fire.
• Keep cartridges and other consumables out of the reach of children. If the contents of these items
are ingested, consult a physician immediately.
• Place the cartridge in its protective bag so that the side with the written instructions is facing upward.
Then, place the bagged cartridge into its shipping box. Store the unused cartridge out of direct sunlight.
• For partially used/opened cartridges, place the cartridge in its protective bag so that the side with the
written instructions is facing upward. Then place the bagged cartridge into its shipping box and store it
away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid storing the cartridge in front of heaters and humidifiers, etc. Store it in a location where the
temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• The recommended storage conditions are as follows:
Temperature 59°F to 80.6°F (15°C to 27°C)
Relative Humidity 20% to 80%.
• Do not stand the cartridge on end or turn it upside down.
Storing Partially Used Cartridges
If you remove a cartridge from the machine, store the cartridge as described below.
Place the cartridge in its protective bag so that the side with the written instructions is facing upward. Then, place
the cartridge into its shipping box. Be sure to securely close the lid of the shipping box.
If you do not have the protective bag or shipping box for the cartridge, store the cartridge in a dark location.
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 shipping box.
