the proper position on the manual feed
slot. If it is not, the paper may not be fed
properly, resulting in a skewed printout or
a paper jam.

envelope in the manual feed slot at a time,
or you may cause the machine to jam.

■ You can remove smaller sizes of printed

paper from the output paper tray more
easily if you lift the scanner cover, using

avoid spilling and scattering the toner.

■ Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If

toner scatters on your hands or

it with cold water.

3

Unpack the new toner cartridge. Place
the used toner cartridge into the
aluminium bag and discard it according
to local regulations.

Troubleshooting and routine maintenance

CAUTION

■ Brother printers are designed to work

with toner of a particular specification
and work to a level of optimum
performance when used with genuine
Brother toner cartridges (TN-2000).
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 Brother
cartridges with this printer, or the
refilling of empty cartridges with toner
from other sources. If damage is
caused to the drum unit or other part of
this machine as a result of the use of
toner or toner cartridges other than
genuine Brother products due to the
incompatibility or lack of suitability of
those products with this machine, any
repairs required as a result may not be
covered by the warranty.

■ Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until

immediately before you install it in the
machine. If a toner cartridge is left
unpacked for a long period of time, the
toner life is shortened.

drum unit should be replaced. You should
clean the machine when you replace the

window on page 6-18.)

CAUTION

When removing the drum unit, handle it
carefully because it contains toner. If toner
scatters and your hands or clothes get
dirty, immediately wipe or wash with cold
water.

Note

The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is
necessary to replace it periodically. There are
many factors that determine the drum life,
such as temperature, humidity, type of paper
and how much toner you use for the number
of pages per print job. The estimated drum life
is up to 12,000 pages. The actual number of
pages your drum will print may be
significantly less than these estimates.
Because we have no control over the many
factors that determine the actual drum life, we
cannot guarantee a minimum number of
pages that will be printed by your drum.
