Replace Toner

The message in the last line of the LCD indicates which color you need to replace.The machine will stop printing until you replace the toner cartridge. A new or unused genuine Brother toner cartridge will reset the Replace Toner mode.

The Brother machine has separate consumables the toner cartridge and the drum unit. Verify you replace only the Toner Cartridge and not the drum unit. If you want to know their difference, refer to "What is the difference between the toner cartridge and the drum unit?"
