Caution
■Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you put it in the printer. If toner
cartridges are left unpacked for a long time the toner life will be shortened.
■If an unpacked drum unit is put in direct sunlight or room light, the unit may be damaged.
■Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the toner cartridge provided with your printer.
We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand replacement
toner cartridges. Using or attempting to use potentially incompatible toner and/or toner
cartridges in your printer may cause damage to the printer itself and/or it may result in
unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that was
caused by the use of unauthorized third party toner and toner cartridges. To protect your
investment and guarantee your print quality please continue to replace consumed toner
cartridges with only Genuine Brother Branded Supplies.
■Printing with a third-party toner or third-party toner cartridge may reduce not only the print quality
but also the quality and life of the printer itself. It may also cause serious damage to the
performance and life of a drum unit. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by
the use of third-party toner or third-party toner cartridges.
