Replacing the consumable itemsA
The machine will indicate when it is time to replace the consumable items. (See Replacing the 
toner cartridge on page 33 and Replacing the drum unit on page 39.) To avoid any inconvenience, 
you may want to buy spare consumable items before the machine stops printing.
Note
• Go to http://www.brother.com/original/index.html for instructions on how to return your used 
consumable items to the Brother collection program. If you choose not to return your used 
consumable, please discard the used consumable according to local regulations, keeping it 
separate from domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.
• 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.
• The projected life of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of 
replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage 
and type of media used.

your used consumable items to the

immediately after you have removed the 
protective cover. To prevent any 
degradation to the print quality, DO NOT 
touch the shaded parts shown in the
