Step 1: Power Off and Unplug the Printer

Before you begin, it’s important to power off and unplug your Brother printer. This will prevent any damage to the printer or the toner cartridge during the installation process.

Step 2: Open the Toner Cartridge Access Door

Locate the toner cartridge access door on the front or top of your printer. It is usually marked with a toner icon or the word “toner.” Gently open the door to reveal the toner cartridge.

Step 3: Remove the Old Toner Cartridge

Grasp the old toner cartridge by the handle and gently pull it out of the printer. Be careful not to touch the imaging drum or the toner cartridge’s electrical contacts, as this can cause print quality issues.

Step 4: Remove the Protective Tape

Using scissors or a knife, carefully remove the protective tape from the new toner cartridge. Be sure to remove all of the tape to prevent smudging or smearing on your printed documents.

Step 5: Install the New Toner Cartridge

Align the new toner cartridge with the guides inside the printer. Gently slide the cartridge into the printer until it clicks into place. Make sure it is securely seated before moving on to the next step.

Step 6: Close the Toner Cartridge Access Door

Once the new toner cartridge is installed, close the toner cartridge access door. This will ensure that the toner is properly seated and ready for use.

Step 7: Power On the Printer and Align the Cartridge

Plug in and power on your Brother printer. The printer will automatically align the new toner cartridge. This process may take a few minutes, so please be patient.

Step 8: Test the Printer

After the printer has completed the alignment process, print a test page to ensure that the new toner cartridge is working properly. If the print quality is satisfactory, you’re all done!

By following these simple steps, you can easily install toner in your Brother printer. If you encounter any issues during the process, consult your printer’s manual or contact Brother customer support for assistance.
