Consumable items A
The drum unit and toner cartridge are two separate consumables. Make sure both are installed as
an assembly. For more information on how to replace the consumable items, see the instructions
included with the drum unit for replacing the drum unit or see the instructions printed on the box
of the toner cartridge for replacing the toner cartridge.

• Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to
a level of optimum performance when used with Brother Original toner cartridges. Brother
cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications
are used. The machine may not detect toner or toner cartridges of other specifications correctly
but may instead detect such items as standard yield toner cartridges. Brother does not
therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges with this
machine, or the refilling of empty cartridges with toner from other sources. If damage is caused
to the drum unit or other parts of this machine as a result of the use of toner or toner cartridges
other than Brother Original 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.
• For best performance, use a Brother Original drum and toner cartridge. Printing with a third
party drum unit or toner cartridge may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and
life of the machine itself. Warranty coverage may not apply to problems caused by the use of
a third party drum or toner cartridge.
• Discard used consumable items according to local regulations, keeping it separate from
domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office. Be sure to reseal
the consumable items tightly so that the material inside does not spill.
• The projected life for each of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of
replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage
and type of media used.
