Brother Brand toner cartridges. When you
want to buy toner cartridges, please call
Brother Customer Service.

If you print graphics, bold text, charts,
Web pages with borders, and other types
of printouts that consist of more than
simple text, the amount of toner used will
increase.
• We recommend that you clean the
machine when you replace the toner
cartridge. See Advanced User’s Guide:
Cleaning the machine.

lighter or darker printing, the amount of
toner used will change.
