5Plug in the power cord first, and then plug in the telephone cord.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
The machine can print up to 6,000 pages using a high yield toner cartridge.  
When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows TONER LOW.  The 
machine is supplied with a standard toner cartridge that must be replaced after 
approximately 3,000 pages.  Actual page count will vary depending on your 
average document type (i.e., standard letter, detailed graphics).
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, keeping it 
separate from domestic waste.  Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner 
powder does not spill out of the cartridge. If you have questions, call your local 
waste disposal office.  
We recommend that you clean the machine when you replace the toner 
cartridge.
Toner Empty Indicator
When the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD shows TONER LOW and 
the Toner Empty icon on the control panel flashes on and off to indicate the 
toner is low.
The Toner Empty icon appears and the LCD shows TONER EMPTY.  Once 
this icon appears, your machine will not resume printing until you install a new 
toner cartridge.

Caution
Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it into the 
machine.  If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long period of time, the toner life 
is shortened.
You can use only a genuine Brother Toner Cartridge (TN-430 or TN-460), which is 
specially formulated to ensure top print quality.  Using another brand of toner cartridge 
may void your machine’s warranty. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems 
caused by the use of 3rd party Toner, 3rd party Toner cartidge or 3rd party Drum unit.
4Gently rock the toner cartidge 
from side to side five or six times 
to distribute the toner evenly 
inside the cartridge.
5Remove the protective cover.
6Install the new toner cartridge 
into the drum unit until it clicks 
into place.
7Clean the primary corona 
wire inside the drum unit by 
gently sliding the blue tab 
from right to left several 
times. Return the blue tab to 
the Home position before 
reinstalling the drum unit 
assembly.

8Reinstall the drum unit and close the 
front cover.
Replacing the Drum Unit
The machine uses a drum unit to create print images on paper.  If the LCD shows 
CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time 
to purchase a new one.
Even if the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue 
printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while.  However, if there 
is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality (even before 
CHANGE DRUM SOON is shown), then the drum unit should be replaced.  
You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit. 
(See Page 19-19.)
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. 
WARNING
Just after you have used the 
machine, some internal parts 
of the machine are extremely 
HOT! So please be careful.
Follow these steps to replace 
the drum unit:
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it 
periodically.  There are many factors that determine the actual 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 20,000 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.

20Important Information
Standard Telephone and FCC Notices
These notices are in effect on models sold and used in 
the United States only.
This equipment is hearing aid compatible.
When programming emergency numbers and making test calls to 
emergency numbers:
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call 
before hanging up.

evening.
This equipment complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. On the rear panel of this 
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC 
Registration Number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this 
equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your telephone 
company. 
You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone line by means of a 
standard modular jack, USOC RJ11C.
An FCC compliant telephone cord with a modular plug is provided with this 
equipment. This equipment is designed to be connected to the telephone line or 
premises wiring using a compatible modular jack that is Part 68 compliant. See 
the Installation section of this manual for details.
The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your 
telephone line and still have those devices ring when your telephone number is 
called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all devices connected 
to one line should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices 
you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should contact 
your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling 
area. If your FAX-4750e or FAX-5750e damages the telephone line, the 
telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they 
will notify you in advance. But if advanced notice is not practical, you will be 
notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a 
complaint with the FCC.
Your telephone company may make changes to its facilities, equipment, 
operations or procedures that could affect the proper functioning of your 
equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity 
to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.
