Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The machine can print up to 6,000 pages using a high yield toner cartridge (TN-6600). When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows CHNGE TONER. The machine is supplied with a standard toner cartridge (TN-6300) that must be replaced after approximately 3,000 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type.

It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the toner low warning.

Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult with Brother dealer for service. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic garbage.

It is recommended that you clean the machine when you replace the toner.

Toner Empty Indicator

When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows CHANGE TONER and the Toner Empty LED on the control panel flashes on and off to indicate the toner is low.

Display

The Toner Empty LED light stays on and the display show TONER EMPTY to indicate that the toner is empty. Once this indication appears, your machine will not resume printing until you have installed a new toner cartridge.
