Copy Yield
Approximate copy yield
Canon Cartridge E16 : approx. 2,000 copies (A4 at 5% ink coverage) (included with the copier).
Canon Cartridge E30 : approx. 4,000 copies (A4 at 5% ink coverage).
*
The term “A4 at 5% ink coverage” denotes an original on which the area covered with black ink is 5% of the total area of
an A4-size sheet. See the inside of the back cover of this manual for an example of an A4 sized page with 5% ink
coverage.
I
The actual number of copies that can be made per cartridge depends in part on the copy exposure setting,
room temperature and humidity.
I
If you copy a large number of originals which contain heavy print or many photographs, toner consumption
will increase, and white streaks will appear on copies sooner than indicated above. Toner consumption will
also increase if you copy with the platen cover left open.
I
Small-sized originals and originals with less print will use less toner. However, although you may be able to
use the cartridge longer than indicated above, dark bands might appear on copies.
Handling and Storing the Cartridge
To ensure optimum copy quality, please observe the following precautions:
Handling Precautions
WARNING:
I
Do not throw cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite and
result in burns or a fire.
REQUEST:
I
Never attempt to disassemble the cartridge or open the protective shutter of the
drum.
NOTICE:
I
If the copier is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if the room is
rapidly heated, condensation may form inside the copier.
This can adversely effect the quality of your copy images (e.g., copies are completely
blank).
When the copier is exposed to such conditions, allow at least two hours for the
copier to adjust to room temperature before attempting to use it.
I
Always hold the cartridge as shown so that the side with the written instructions is
facing upward. Do not forcefully move or push the protection shutter of the drum in
any way.
