Replacing a toner cartridge Note • To ensure high quality printing, we recommend that you use only genuine Brother toner cartridges. When you want to buy toner cartridges, call your dealer or Brother Customer Service. • We recommend that you clean the printer when you replace the toner cartridge.
Page 108 CAUTION For UK and other countries Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded toner cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother branded cartridges with this machine.
Page 109 Turn off the printer power switch. Press the front cover release button and then open the front cover. Hold the green handle of the drum unit.

For more information about parameters, see the following Definition of Parameters.
Page 192 This parameter selects the bar code mode as shown above. When n is ‘t5’ or ‘T5’ the bar code mode (EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A) varies according to the number of characters in the data. Bar code, expanded character, line block drawing and box drawing n = ‘s0’...
Page 193 Human readable line OFF All others This parameter shows whether the printer prints the human readable line below the bar code. Human readable characters are always printed with OCR-B font of 10 pitch and all the current character style enhancements are masked. The default setting is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.
Page 194 Bar code & expanded character offset in Y-axis n = ‘ynnn’ or ‘Ynnn’ This parameter shows the downward offset from the current print position in the ‘u’- or ‘U’-specified unit. Bar code, expanded character, line block drawing and box drawing height n = ‘hnnn’, ‘Hnnn’, ‘dnnn’, or ‘Dnnn’...
Page 195 A number of characters other than those stated above will cause a data error that results in the bar code data being printed as normal print data. If the check digit is not correct, the printer decides the correct check digit automatically so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding ‘+’...
