    3Unpack the new toner cartridge. Place the used toner cartridge 
    into the aluminum bag and discard it according to local 
    regulations. 
    Caution
    ■Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you 
    install it in the DCP. If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long 
    period of time, the toner life is shortened.
    ■Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the toner 
    cartridge provided with your DCP. We also strongly recommend 
    that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand 
    replacement toner cartridges. (TN-540 and TN-570).
    Using or attempting to use potentially incompatible toner and/or 
    toner cartridges in your DCP may cause damage to the machine 
    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.

    Replacing the drum unit
    The DCP 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 appears), then the drum 
    unit should be replaced. You should clean the DCP when you 
    replace the drum unit. (See Cleaning the drum unit
     on page 14-23.)
    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.
    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.
