Troubleshooting and Maintenance 83 MAINTENANCE Replacing the Toner Cartridge The machine can print up to 6,000 pages using a high yield toner cartridge (TN-6600). When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows CHANGE TONER. The machine is supplied with a standard toner cartridge (TN-6300) that must be replaced after approximately 3,000 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type. It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the toner low warning. Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations. If you are not sure of them, consult with Brother dealer for service. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic garbage. It is recommended that you clean the machine when you replace the toner.
