Be sure to reseal the consumable items tightly so that the material inside does not spill. • We recommend placing used consumable items on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally spilling or scattering the material inside. • If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended paper, the life of consumable items and machine parts may be reduced. Replacing a toner cartridgeB The High Yield toner cartridges can print approximately 2,600 pages 1 and the Standard toner cartridges can print approximately 1,500 pages 1.

To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations. Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother toner cartridges (TN-2115/TN-2125). Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother 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 part of this machine as a result of the use of toner or toner cartridges other than genuine Brother 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. Unpack the toner cartridge just before you put it in the machine. If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long time, the toner life will be shortened. Note Be sure to seal up the used toner cartridge tightly in a suitable bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. dUnpack the new toner cartridge. Hold the cartridge level with both hands and gently rock it from side to side five or six times to spread the toner evenly inside the cartridge. ePull off the protective cover.

Troubleshooting and routine maintenance 71 B Replacing the drum unitB The machine uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the LCD shows Drum End Soon, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time to buy a new one. Even if the LCD shows Drum End 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 Drum End Soon appears), then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit. (See Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 61.) CAUTION While removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it may contain toner. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once. Note 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 approximately 12,000 pages 1. The actual number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than this estimate. 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. 1Drum yield is approximate, and may vary by type of use.
