Do not put the toner cartridge into a fire. It could explode.

■

Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the toner cartridge provided with your printer. 
We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand 
replacement toner cartridges. Using or attempting to use potentially incompatible toner and /or 
toner cartridges in your printer may cause damage to the printer 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.

■

Printing with a third-party toner or third-party toner cartridges may reduce not only the print 
quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. It may also cause serious damage to the 
performance and life of a drum unit. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by 
the use of third-party toner or third-party toner cartridges.

We recommend that you clean the printer when you replace the toner cartridge. See 

Cleaning

 on 

page 5-21.

Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe 
or wash it off with cold water.

■

Be sure to seal up the toner cartridge tightly so that toner powder does not spill out of the 
cartridge.

■

Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations, keeping it separate from 
domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.
