Canon MFP644cdw Laser Printer Toner Replacement Tutorial
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2020
- Hey guys you’re here with Doug aka The-Real-Link and today we’re going to show you quickly how to replace the Toner and drum rollers in a Canon Multi-Function Laser Printer, Model MF641cdw, 642cdw, 644cdw, or LBP622cdw. Have you already shaken your starter or existing toner, trying to get that list bit of life out of it but now you simply can’t print? Swapping it couldn’t really be easier so here’s how it goes. This video does not focus on after market ink refilling or non-genuine parts so for that, please look elsewhere.
The touch screen will let you continue printing (with possible deg-ra-dation) on toner but after awhile it simply needs replacing and will be indicated on the panel or by your ink monitor menu. So to swap things here are the steps:
1. Power off your printer. Next, open the outer door to the toner tray and pull the tray all the way forward using the blue lever.
2. Ideally pick up a full replacement set of toners and drums so at least if you’re moving from the starter set, you have all levels at full regardless of your color or black and white printing styles. Many programs and print preferences create black by merging all colors through subtraction, or sometimes offer a true black-only mode and so what ink is used can vary substantially.
3. Here, we see Canon’s instructions for toner replacement. Basically lift out the old toner assembly, tear the perforated seal on the new toner (also indicates the up direction), and drop in the new toner assembly. Repeat this process for all color toner packages. Be sure to shake your toner a few times before installation and to replace it into the proper color section in the toner tray.
4. Your laser printer will run for about a minute on the next power up and “Calibrating Toner” will appear on the screen dialog notifications while the machine is heating and aligning.
5. Now you can take your empty toners back to your local office supply store for recycling, credit, or disposal, or mail them back to Canon with information provided on the included instruction card.
That’s it, you should be good to go! If your machine happens to reset it’s network or drivers during this time, simply reinstall them using Canon’s driver package. If you are stuck on the “Waiting for USB” connection prompt, try physically disconnecting your Ethernet / LAN cable from the printer or your computer and communicating through USB or wireless only. For whatever reason I had to do this on my printer but once it reset itself all was fine.

Thank you! Straightforward without usual nonsensical commentary. Much appreciated.
For sure! Glad to help. I like to make these short and sweet.
Great straight to the point video!! Thank you for nit talking about your dog, cat, or any other info nobody cares about.
I think you meant to type "not talking about.." ;). But yeah thank you! Figured it was helpful for being a relatively easy thing to do but glad you enjoyed!
Thank goodness its this easy. I just bought this printer because my HP printer expected me to pry a chip off the old cartridge, jam it into the new cartridge and do that for every color, every time! It should ALWAYS be as easy as this for ANY printer! So now I'm going to find someone to sell the HP printer to and keep this one.
Thank you for making this!
Hey Mike! Glad to have helped! Yeah, forgive me for sounding like a broken record with your comment but yes, it really is just that easy. I've had the printer for 2 years now or so and it's still rocking strong, zero issues.
Thank you for being here. I subscribed because this was the 2nd time I replaced a cartridge and I obviously didn't remember from the first time. It always runs out at the worst tine. I have a gig tomorrow and wanted to print up a nice color flier to try and sell some CDs of my original songs. Why does it make you change the cartridge with 10 or 20% remaining. If you bought a soda, would you toss it when it was 20% full?.
@@rhodaauerbach1047 Canon has always had that problem with inkjet printers. That ink tanks always had a reasonable amount left and the printer demanded that they be replaced. I remember there was a lawsuit regarding that issue.
Curious, which HP model did you have?
You are doing GOD'S WORK, dude.
Thanks Bridget! It's really quite easy on this printer to swap things but sometimes people do need to see it explained succinctly.
thanks mate
No problem!
Thank you for this video. I keep seeing instructions for removing the sealing tape on the new toner cartridge. When does that occur?
It's possible it could be for different printer's cartridges or if the toner part is separate maybe? These are combo units so I don't believe I have any tape to remove. Just open the canister clamshell and install it.
Hi, can i know if this printer can print heavy cardstock? Something between 250-300gsm? 😊
Hi Kawaaii Co! Unfortunately no. From Canon's website for the 644 "16 lb. Bond to 53 lb. Bond ( 60 to 200 g/m2)" is the limit in either tray. Sounds like you'd need something slightly more capable.
You don't mention the removal of the plastic tape before inserting the new cartridge. Was there no tape on your cartridges?
Hey Jeff, you know, I always saw them wrapped in blue but I figure if there was a pull tab to remove that it'd be obvious. I did double check the manual but no, there is *no* tape on my cartridges at all. I've never had a problem printing with leaving them as-is. Thanks for the comment!
@@TheRealLinkI pulled a long piece of plastic ribbon out of both the cartridges I put in today.
btw, this is Jeff, sometimes RUclips switches my user profile.
I am on starter cartridges. I have just got a signal that my black is low, but the colors are one-third to one-half. Are you recommending I change them all for new ones at this point? Thanks.
Hi Bob. I know that that's the more expensive proposition but at least this way you can be sure all cartridges are full. Depends on how much you print overall though as blacks tend to last a long time.
why would you advise him to throw away toner cart that has toner! seems weird . when u have low black continue using it, then when u dnt see anything printed then change the black, its like advising someone who has a punctured tire to change a full set of new tires? are u ok
I’m looking at getting a very similar current model to this Canon. Hard to find reliable info on it though. Can you tell me if you enjoy it? Had issues with it? Would you buy it again or opt for a competitor like HP, Lexmark, Epson, etc? Thanks in advance.
Hey Mark! Thank you for the kind words. Honestly I was pretty new to buying a Laser printer and while I was slightly inclined to go with HP for brand name, or Brother for price, my particular sales rep said that the Canon bundles the toner plus assembly so you wouldn't have to buy each separately.
Worked really well so far for printing several thousand pages for business contracts / convention work. Only had one or two paper jams which have been super easy to remove with the large back hatch opening. Otherwise no reall issues. Replacing a color literally takes 30 seconds.
@@TheRealLink thank you so much for replying, and with such detail. It means a lot. I looked briefly at your other videos and although most don’t look like they interest me much, I at least owe you a subscriber. I hope to find enjoying, entertainment, or knowledge in more videos. Thank you sir!
Thanks Mark! Yeah I tend to post mostly gaming and some benchmarks / tech stuff as a channel but on occasion I'll post a video tutorial like this. Thank you for the kind compliment! You certainly don't have to watch but the sub is always appreciated.
hey same model that my office use, do you use the toner saving feature in the print settings or not? does it make any difference or just another gimmick feature?
Hey Wildan! That's a great question. Unfortunately, I haven't tried that particular setting. I don't print ultra-high volumes too often, so toner usually lasts me quite some time - even more so with the high-capacity toner yield packs. Not saying it's a gimmick necessarily, just don't have any data for you on it.
Hi. The video was great. I've followed the easy directions. Thank you. But when I send a document to print, I'm getting an Off Line error message and/or also Low Toner error message. What's up? Any ideas?
Hey Cindy! Thank you! Maybe try reseating the toners again or a reset perhaps? Haven't come across that, sorry.
Can you tell me which toner refill is used if I want to just make refill instead of changing whole cartridge?
Hi Samuel, thanks for asking about that. Honestly I'm a bit too wary of just using the refill style to put new ink / toner in the cartridges rather than just repurchasing the toner / roller combo. For every story of "hey this works and I saved hundreds", there is someone who seemingly destroys their printer doing it that way.

Np!
If the color cartridges are low and I just replace the black. Can I keep printing with black only??
Hello Mohammed. I know there is a black-only toggle in print options in Word and I believe in the printer. The one time I came across low cartridges though it did prompt for more color rolls. I'd have to try this again the next time it happens so I do not think so.
I have the same printer and I need help, Do you know how to clean the cartridges? I keep getting blue spots on my prints. I don't know how to run a test print either, any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA
Hi Aida, not sure what could be causing the blue spots but I believe on the screen menus (scroll right) there should be an option for test printing and diagnostics, or in the sub menus. Okay, found it, it's on the touchscreen, scroll right to "Menu" then Adjustment/Maintenance > Maintenance, then various cleaning methods. Could try those at any rate!
TheRealLink thank you 🙏🏼 I will give it a try.
How to reset toner level for this printer?
It should just auto-detect when a new toner color is added. I've had no problem when swapping out toner having it instantly reflect in the printer status. Maybe reboot it?
I need help to find out the ink levels. How much toner each one has.
On the screen, select the button in the lower right "Status Indicator" > Device Information > Cartridge Information. That will show you ink levels.
@@TheRealLink Thanks, this helped me a lot. Appreciate it.
This is a great video but I could use a little more help. My color cartrides are at 20% and my black is at 30% but the printer will not print. I'm getting the message you showed in the video that I should replace the toner. I have been searching for how to tell the printer to keep going even when low but nothing is working. I did find a setting where I could change the warning from 20% to something else and I changed it to 5%. Still won't print. I took out all the cartridges and shook them but still won't print. Is there another specific setting I need to do to make it print so I can use up the toner. I even tried printing in black only and it won't let me. It is really hard to find any information on how to force the printer to continue when the toner is low. If you have a video on that, I'd love to see it. Thanks!
Hi Jean, unfortunately short of checking the manual it could be an issue with the toner contacts or something with the printer itself. If there's a way to update the firmware you may wish to try that. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful in this situation.
@@TheRealLink I really appreciate your response! I did update the firmware too. I just ordered my toner and honestly, this is the only compliant I have as this printer has been amazing and this is the first time I'm changing the toner in a year and a half. Thanks again!
Not a problem Jean! Glad things are working well for you otherwise! It's been an awesome printer for me too.
I've not changed the ink yet. My printer is missing the blue lever to pull the ink out, and ink seems to be stuck. Any ideas for getting it out so I can change cartridges?
So on top of the ink / toner assembly, there's no blue pull tab? It appears to just be a hinge or pin assembly to lock them in place. You could probably remove one of the other cartridges to get a good look at how it locks in and then work your way backwards on Blue from that. I'd not be entirely sure how to service it with that part missing, sorry.
My toner tray doesn't slide out easily like the video, it seems like it's locked. I don't want to force it as I don't want to break it, any solutions?
Hey Veridis! I've personally not come across this happening. Sounds like something might be caught or not lubricated well. Perhaps take it out slowly and give it look over? Obviously the tray can be fully removed so it sounds odd that you're having trouble with yours.
my 'toner' light was blinking, so i order new toner cartridges. i go to swap them, and pull the old cartridge out and HOLY COW! these things have to be at LEAST 3/4 full! the warning i get is 'end of service life'. i can 'continue' to print without guaranteed results - but do you ever REALLY get guarantees anyhow? this printer does not get used heavily, we're talking MAYBE 100 pages a month on a BUSY month. Often the load is less than 50 pages a month. NO WAY this toner is bad!
how do i 'reset' these toner cartridges and get rid of this error / warning? i got rid of ink jet because of our low printing demands and of course the ink was always drying out. i went with the color laser printer thinking i was taking care of that issue, as for as long as the printer is left in a dry area, that toner should practically last forever. i'll be DAMNED if i am going to replace these toner cartridges every 6 months with the level of printing i do - that is an incredible waste!
WHY do manufacturers have to build in this 'planned obsolescence' in on toner cartridges? i already paid good money for the printer, and replacement toner is not cheap, only to find out i don't even need to replace the toner! i am not going to guarantee Canon a revenue stream! i just want a printer that will print until the toner is gone
Trust me Matt, I hear you on this and it is deceptive, infuriating, and frustrating. Canon certainly isn't the only one to blame but they don't mind profiting where they can of course. I believe there's a confirmation that pops up when toner is low (I've seen it when printing hundreds of flyers for a business conference), that allows you to "Keep Printing With Potentially Degraded Results".
Now, I don't know how much toner is in those assemblies nor do I know the empty vs full weight to even discern if you've run out of toner, but I've pushed these on the toner level checkers to 0% and sometimes well past that (by over 50 full color pages) before I actually see faded or inaccurate colors appear. So unfortunately that's the only thing I can recommend - use them until they're for sure done despite what warnings you may see.
I just replaced cyane and yellow but the printer just keeps printing white pages? Did i do something wrong? Or how can i fix this? I hope you can help haha. Thanks already :)
So far I've only ever replaced them all at once but the printer should detect the new toners fine. I'd imagine you just put them back into the proper slots from where they were removed, correct? (the order matters).
Might also check your OS print preferences to ensure it didn't detect no color and change to B&W on you. Otherwise I'd have to look into it more! Thanks for the feedback.
i wanted to add something, to another comment i could not find! the brother have seperated toner and drum parts u can buy toners seperately and drum packs either of 4 or a tray drum of 4 together, the first thpe lets you change drums seperately for colours as they go bad which is up to 17000 for seperate drums and around 25000 to 100000 copies for tray drum sets. which can bemore expensive than a printer. however, the canon comes with a toner and drum pack in one unit, which forces you to throw away new drums every toner change wheather it is 1000 pages or high yield toner the drum is same, shame on the carelessness for the environement. makes me think canon is forcing us to buy assemblies wheather we need to change them or not . also canons (this series ) do not have serviceable belt but brother do, lasts 50000 pages. and waste packs are available everywhere, canon seems to be very secretive about prices and spares. overall on the usability and serviceability of their printers especially, they just ant you to keep buying. great quality though. i hate hp.
thanks for your great review ,your follower from jordan ❤🤟🏼🔥 , i would ask you ! just one cartilage his price is 100 $ , (skyrocketing )price , the question is : how much paper does this cartilage prints ( black cartilage )
It seems to be 1,200 pages regular and 2-3K+ with the high yield version.
How to check Toner ink level on your printer NF642CDW.... Please Thanks Orlando Florida
You can do this by the lower right button > Details > Printer Status > Ink Levels if your printer SKU is similar to mine. A quick search gave me no results with that model number though.
When on color is empty, do the printer keep printer with the other colors or you have to put the new toner?
I believe it'll recommend a color replacement. I haven't run out of this toner yet so I can't tell you for sure! Of course if a color doc and you're out of color, no luck, but if you're out of black it I think, still would need it despite mixing CMY.
I don't use much color, printer refused to print black and white because the color toners "expired" as in, out of date. Canon is a ripoff, never gonna buy canon again. All printer companies are ripping you off, but canon is on next level.
You can print in black only, even with empty color cartridges. Right-click on your Canon printer and select “Printing preferences” from the context menu. Open the “Maintenance” tab on the far right and click “Ink Cartridge Settings.” Click on the “Ink Cartridge” drop-down menu, select “Black Only” and then click “OK.”
@@jeandeaux2129 oh genius, you dont think I already did that? (i did)
The printer catridge holder does not eject but i am unable to replace catrridges. please help
If you open the printer cartridge door, the blue lever should pull the cartridge tray right out along the slide rods. I'm guessing you must have it jammed or off axis perhaps? Never heard of it not sliding right out, sorry. If you can't pull the lever tab you should still be able to shimmy the cartridge try outwards from the sides or at worst, the rear paper door.
Is there a drum to replace with this printer as well?
Hi Spaniard! Not to my knowledge. The Toner and Drum are together in one toner kit as far as I understand things.
@@TheRealLink Awesome! Thank you so much!
How do you reset counter?
Hey Jeremy. For the amount printed or...?
this printer has replacable toner waste tank?
Hey Rumorscameras, not sure about a waste tank, honestly. I know the toner and assembly is all built in so each of trays might handle that unless there isn't any.
it is not nice from cnon to hide theuir info, brother is very clear about the different components and drums and toners are seperqated and the belt is replacable and waste toner tank is a consumable, but canon print quality and software functionnality is a bit smoother and nicer@@TheRealLink
Yeah I guess it's just not something I've looked into for it. I don't print high volume (but do need the laser quality) so went with that.
Hi I want to ask you that my scanner is showing 2 colours on 10% but black one is on 40%. Do I have to change all together or just those which one are showing down and my second question is do I need to wait for going down to 0% or I have to change before the colours gonna empty?
Thanks if you can help me.
Hey Jaspreet. Thanks for the questions. Of course since the toners are expensive you can probably wait until they're at 0 or close, but it's up to you if you need that color for a lot of documents beyond what 10% provides. To be used evenly and without being caught surprised, I know it's expensive but I'd recommend just changing them all at once. This way they're full together. You *can* change out just the ones you need, but again it's easy to forget about the other low one until it runs out.
hi, i just change new cartridge for my printer, but colour print not correct.. i bought original canon cartridge. colour print not print correct colour
Hi Mary. Sounds like some calibration is needed if you've already bought two toners. You should be able to call Canon at 1-800-OK-CANON and they can help you out.
I replaced the black one and the printer started printing with low quality.. what should i do??
That's odd. Short of a toner clean, it sounds like it could be defective.
@@TheRealLink how can i clean it?
Once i put back the empty toner the printer started to print with the same (high) quality..
@@TheRealLink like a transparent writing at the page
Hi Mohammad, yeah that's strange. I'm sorry, honestly short of Googling an answer I wouldn't be able to give you a solution for that. Maybe give Canon a call at 1-800-OKCANON in the US or look for their International number if you're abroad.
@@TheRealLink Hello! I found out that there was like a tape you should pull it and i think it was cut off inside the toner, i took the toner to the printer shop they replaced it to me with new one, Thanks.
I just dont understand how the manufacturers can expect people to continue to purchase toner/ink that cost more than the printer itself? MSRP for 4 set of toner from canon is $400. The printer was $250! I guess its my fault for not researching the cost, but I feel like the manufacturers purposefully make portions not work properly without their OEM cartridges. Its akin to getting the oil changed in your car without a factory filter means that the change oil light cant be turned off and the manufacturer wont accept warranty claims.
Hey Wilee, yeah I do agree. While I do lower volume printing it's usually more formalized client contractual work so I prefer the sharpness and vibrance of laser. But you're right, if you're doing a ton of printing in volume you'll burn through toner pretty fast. Thankfully my toner sets last a long time (1-2 years) so the huge cost outlay isn't quite as much a slap in the face. But short of using the giant refill canisters or other brands, it is what it is until companies are pressured to change their "quick" for profit designs.
How do I re set the tonner?
Hey Gates! Should just be somewhere in the menu if you need a manual reset but I've not had any issue on mine identifying the replaced toner levels upon swap.
@@TheRealLink hmm I'm using an off the shelf one non original because I'm want to save money, at the end I just took the chip off the toner and it ignores the fact that I need to replace the toner, in theory if i put the chip of the original tonner it might pick that up and still work... not sure as I haven't tried it yet.
Ah yeah that's a good point! Obviously Canon isn't the only company to smart chip their devices and hardware (most do it these days), but it makes sense about you getting it to work and can't fault you on saving a few bucks since it's expensive! Good luck should you do the swap!
I legit don’t even print in color and it seems like my color runs out of nowhere
That's normal. I believe the toners still use a small amount of color for calibration even if you print in black and white. Call it testing or burning through your color as a sales scam but either way it is frustrating ... eventually. The color does last awhile though, IMO.
