CANON SUPPLIES notification

Flex Technology Group (FTG) wanted to provide early notice that due to the worldwide chip shortage, Canon will temporarily manufacturer some of its toner cartridges without chips.

How do I identify whether or not my Canon Toner Cartridge has a chip?

Here is a close-up view of what the descriptive label looks like:

Don’t panic. You can still print!

Please don’t be alarmed: There is not a toner supply concern and cartridges produced without a chip will continue to operate in designated Canon printing/copying devices.

There may be a little inconvenience: When customers insert a Canon Toner Cartridge without a chip, they may receive a notification that the copier/printer does not recognize the toner cartridge. If an alert message appears, simply push “CLOSE” or “I AGREE” to continue printing with the same excellent print quality and the same yield/output they’ve always received with Canon.

Some customers may also see a message under the following conditions:

• When the Power Switch of the Device is turned OFF and then ON
• When a toner cartridge is inserted in the future

Again, if an alert message appears, please push “CLOSE” or “I AGREE” to continue printing.

Possible auto-supplies-fulfillment impact: Please also note that toner cartridges without a chip may also impact “auto-fulfillment” services. If you run out of toner, simply follow the instructions on the FTG Company printer ID tag.

• imageRUNNER ADVANCE C355 Series
• imageRUNNER ADVANCE C356 Series
