Impact of the Semiconductor Shortage on Canon’s MFD Consumable Products

As a valuable customer we appreciate your continued use of Canon products.

Due to the ongoing global shortage of semiconductor components, Canon is currently experiencing challenges in procuring specific electronic components that are used in our consumable products for our multifunction devices (MFD). These components perform such functions as detecting remaining toner levels.

To ensure you enjoy a continuous and reliable supply of consumables, we have chosen to supply consumable products without the semiconductor component until normal supply resumes.

While there is no negative impact on print quality when using consumables without electronic components, certain ancillary functions, such as the ability to detect toner levels, may be affected.


Impacted Products:

Model Series Toner Code
imageRUNNER ADVANCE 47xx/45xx NPG-73
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C355_255/C350_250 NPG-65
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C357_257/C356_265 NPG-76
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C38xx/C37xx/C35xx/C33xx NPG-67
imageRUNNER ADVANCE C57xx/55xx NPG-71
