Copy Yield
This section describes the approximate number of copies that can be made per cartridge.
Approximate Copy Yield
Canon S35 Cartridge : approx. 3500 copies (A4 at 5% dot coverage*).
* The term “A4 at 5% dot coverage” denotes an original on which the area covered with black ink is 5% of the
total area of an A4-size sheet.
• The actual number of copies that can be made per cartridge depends in part on the copy exposure setting, room
temperature and humidity.
• 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 glass cover left open.
• 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
This section describes the precautions to ensure optimum copy quality.
Handling Precautions
• Do not throw cartridge into open flames, as this may cause the toner to ignite and result in burns
or a fire.
• The cartridge emits low level magnetic flux. If you use a cardiac pacemaker and feel
abnormalities, please move away from the cartridge, and consult your doctor.
• Never attempt to disassemble the cartridge or open the protective shutter of the drum.
• If the machine is brought from the cold outdoors into a warm room, or if the room is rapidly heated,
condensation may form inside the machine.
This can adversely effect the quality of your copy images (e.g., copies are completely black).
When the machine is exposed to such conditions, allow at least two hours for the machine to adjust to
room temperature before attempting to use it.
• Always hold the cartridge as shown so that the side with the instructions are facing upward. Do not
forcefully move or push the protective shutter of the drum in any way.
