NOTE
  • Be sure to seal the used supplies tightly in a bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge.
  • Brother is committed to minimizing the environmental impact due to waste. For more information on recycling options, contact your local recycling office or visit:
  • 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.

  • Both the toner cartridge and the drum unit feature an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip. DO NOT touch these surfaces. Touching the IC chips may cause contamination or damage, and may interfere with the machine's ability to detect these components.
