How to Check Toner Levels in Canon Laser Printers

1. Click on the Start button and select 'Control Panel.'
2. Double-click on 'Printers and Other Hardwares.' Click on 'Printers and Faxes.' If you use Windows Vista or above, click on the Start menu and select 'Settings.' Click on 'Printers.'
3. Click on the icon of your Canon printer. Open the 'File' menu and select 'Printing Preferences.' This will open the 'Printer Properties' dialog box.
4. Click on the 'Maintenance' tab and hit the 'View Printer Status' button. This will show you the toner levels in your Canon laser printer. The '!' symbol appears when the tank is low. You can continue printing, but not for too long. This is a perfect indication for you to purchase a new toner. The 'X' refers to an empty tank which requires immediate replacement.
