Chapter 5 Maintenance; Replacing The Toner Cartridge - Brother HL-1040 User Manual

CHAPTER 5
MAINTENANCE

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

The printer can print approximately 2,400 pages (5% coverage:
A4/Letter) with one toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running
low, the Alarm and Data (Toner) lamps blink once every 5 seconds to
indicate toner low. Initially, some models are supplied with a starter
toner cartridge which must be replaced after 1,000 pages.
Note


Actual page count will vary depending on your average document
type. (i.e.: standard letter, detailed graphics, etc.)


It is recommended that you always keep a new toner cartridge ready
for use for when you get the toner low warning.


Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you
are not sure of them, consult your local dealer. Be sure to seal up the
toner cartridge tightly so that toner powder does not spill out of the
cartridge. Do not discard used toner cartridges together with domestic
rubbish.


It is recommended that you clean the printer when you replace the
toner cartridge.
!
Caution
You may print approximately 100 pages after the first toner low
indication. Both Alarm and Data (Toner) lamps will blink continuously
to indicate that the toner is empty. Once this indication appears, your
printer cannot resume printing until you have installed a new toner
cartridge.
