Replace Supplies
You must replace supplies when the machine indicates that the life of the supply is over.
The toner cartridge and drum unit are two separate supplies. Make sure both are installed as an assembly. The
product code of supplies may vary depending on the country.
NOTE
•
Be sure to seal the used supplies tightly in a bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge.

collection and recycling program. If your local Brother office does not have the collection program yet, or
you choose not to return your used supply, discard the used supply according to local regulations,
keeping it separate from domestic waste. If you have questions, contact your local waste disposal office.
•
We recommend placing both the new and the used supplies on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally
spilling or scattering the contents.
•
Using paper that is not a direct equivalent for a recommended print media may reduce the life of supplies
and machine parts.
•
The projected life for each of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of replacement
will vary depending on the print volume, percentage of coverage, types of media used, and powering
on/off the machine.
•
Frequency of replacing supplies except toner cartridges will vary depending on the print volume, types of
media used, and powering on/off the machine.
•
Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe or wash
it off with cold water.
IMPORTANT
To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.
