There are two basic kinds of toner: magnetic and
non-magnetic. If your laser printer has a Cannon 'engine' it most
likely uses magnetic. NEVER use the wrong type. The imaging process
is extremely delicate and specific toners are important. Use of
toner that is slightly different could result in all black or all
white copies.
So you put in the wrong type of toner?
"I have a 3M Model 6312 copier. I believe
it is a re-badged Lanier. I didn't pay much for it but it worked
well. When the toner warning light came on, I made the mistake of
adding the wrong kind of toner. I removed the wrong toner as much
as I could by vacuum. Is there anything I should do before adding
the right type of toner? Did I do serious damage to the system?
What to do if the warning light remained on even with the right
type of toner added? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated."

If your copier uses non-magnetic toner, it is mixed
with iron powder, called the Developer. Both have to be removed
and all residue vacuumed out. If the copier uses magnetic toner,
less of it will remain in the machine. Try to get as much as possible
out. Do not scratch the roller on which the toner sits.
