For how to install the handset, see “Connect Telephone Cables and Install Handset,” in the Starter Guide.

(MF4140/MF4150 Only)

Maintaining the Handset

– Do not leave the handset exposed to direct sunlight.
– Do not install the handset in hot or humid conditions.
– Do not spray aerosol polish on the handset as it may cause damage.
– Use a damp cloth to wipe clean the handset.

Before Using the Machine

Toner Cartridge

The lifetime of the Canon genuine starter toner cartridge included in this machine
is approximately 1,000 pages, the Canon genuine replacement toner cartridge is
approximately 2,000 pages. 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 the Canon genuine
replacement 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).

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.

Before Using the Machine

CAUTION

Do not place the toner cartridge in fire. Toner powder is flammable.

1-12

Checking the toner level

You can check the amount of toner remaining in the toner cartridge by pressing the
[Toner Gauge] key. The toner level is displayed in the LCD at four levels.
If the toner gauge indicates that the toner is empty, it is recommended that the toner
cartridge be replaced.(See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge,” on p. 10-8.)

NOTE

– Do not add or remove documents while they are being scanned.

Document Handling

– When scanning is complete, remove the documents from the document delivery tray to avoid

Paper Guidelines

● To prevent paper jams, do not use any of the following:
– Wrinkled or creased paper
– Curled or rolled paper
– Coated paper
– Torn paper
– Damp paper
– Very thin paper
– Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not copy on

the reverse side.)

● The following types of paper do not print well:

Print Media

– Highly textured paper
– Very smooth paper
– Shiny paper

● Make sure the paper is free from dust, lint, and oil stains.

● Be sure to test paper before purchasing large quantities.

● Store all paper wrapped and on a flat surface until ready for use. Keep opened packs

in their original packaging in a cool, dry location.

● Store paper at 18°C-24°C, 40%-60% relative humidity.

● Use only the transparencies designed for laser printers. Canon recommends you to

use Canon type transparencies with this machine.

3-3

Loading Paper

To load paper in the paper feeding tray, see “Set Up the Paper Trays and Load
Paper,” in the Starter Guide.

Into the Multi-Purpose tray

Use the multi-purpose tray when you want to copy or print on the different paper which
is in the paper feeding tray. Load paper one by one in the multi-purpose tray.

NOTE

– The paper in the multi-purpose tray is fed prior to the paper in the paper feeding tray.
– The recommended envelopes are COM10, MONARCH, DL, and ISO-C5. Using other envelopes may

affect the quality of the printout.
– Make sure to set the correct paper size in the printer driver. (See Online Help.)
– When printing received documents, it is possible to feed paper only from the paper feeding tray. If paper

is loaded into the multi-purpose tray, <REMOVE MP PAPER> appears.

1 Spread the paper guides a little wider than the actual paper width.

Print Media

3-4

2 When setting a paper, gently insert the paper into the multi-purpose tray

with the print side up.

NOTE

When you load paper with a logo on, position the paper with the print side up (logo side) and insert
it so that the top of the paper feeds first in the multi-purpose tray.

Print Media

When setting an envelope, gently insert the envelope into the multi­purpose tray with the print side up and the right edge (i.e., closer to the
stamp) first.

3-5

3 Slide the paper guides so that they fit to both sides of the paper.

NOTE

If the paper guides are not adjusted correctly for the size of the paper, the quality of your printouts
may be adversely affected.

4 Specify the size and the type of the paper you load.

For details on how to specify the paper size and type, see “Setting Paper Size and Type,” on p. 3-7.
