The page counts are on the basis of ISO/IEC 19752* when printing A4 size paper with the default print density setting. The level of toner consumption varies depending on the type of documents printed. If your average document contains a lot of graphics, tables, or charts, the life of the toner cartridge will be shorter as they consume more toner. To purchase a new Canon genuine toner cartridge, contact your local authorized Canon dealer or Canon help line. * "ISO/IEC 19752" is the global standard related to "Method for the determination of toner cartridge yield for monochromatic electrophotographic printers and multi-function devices that may contain printer components" issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization). Before Using the Machine Toner Cartridge name: Canon FX10 Cartridge Model Name MF4120 MF4140 MF4150 Supported Canon Genuine Cartridge Canon FX10 Cartridge Print Yield Approx. 2,000 pages 1-11 Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Keep the toner cartridge away from computer screens, disk drives, and floppy disks. The magnet inside the toner cartridge may harm these items. Avoid locations subject to high temperature, high humidity, or rapid changes in temperature. Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct sunlight or bright light for more than five minutes. Store the toner cartridge in its protective bag. Do not open the bag until you are ready to install the toner cartridge in the machine. Save the toner cartridge's protective bag in case you need to repack and transport the toner cartridge at a later date. Do not store the toner cartridge in a salty atmosphere or where there are corrosive gases such as from aerosol sprays. Do not remove the toner cartridge from the machine unnecessarily. Do not open the drum protective shutter on the toner cartridge. Print quality may deteriorate if the drum surface is exposed to light or is damaged. Always hold the toner cartridge by its handle to avoid touching the drum protective shutter. Do not stand the toner cartridge on end, and do not turn it upside down. If toner becomes caked in the toner cartridge, it may become impossible to free it even by shaking the toner cartridge. CAUTION Before Using the Machine
