CHAPT ER 5 MAINTENANCE

Toner cartridge (TN-9500)

The toner cartridge is in a bag inside the toner cartridge carton.
A new toner cartridge contains enough toner to print up to approximately 11,000 A4/Letter-size single-sided pages at about 5% coverage (if the print density is set at level 0).

Fig. 5-1

This toner cartridge is a single-component cartridge. The microfine toner does not become magnetized. The toner cartridge is packed inside a bag. Do not open it until immediately before you install the toner cartridge. The toner cartridge must not be exposed to light for a long time. Do not expose the toner cartridge to direct light. Do not stand the toner cartridge on its end or turn it upside down. Do not open the drum shutter because it might cause serious damage, resulting in poor print quality. Do not touch the shaded parts shown below. Toner consumption varies according to the image coverage on the page and the print density setting. The greater the image coverage, the greater the toner consumption. If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, toner consumption varies accordingly.
Use a genuine Brother toner cartridge that is specially formulated to ensure optimum print quality. Printing with a 3rd party toner or 3rd party toner cartridge 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 3rd party toner or 3rd party toner cartridges.

TONER EMPTY message

You will need to replace the toner cartridge periodically.
When the TONER EMPTY message appears on the LCD panel, remove the Toner cartridge, and rock it gently several times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Re-install the same toner cartridge.
Afterward, if you have any print quality problems, replace the toner cartridge with a new one.

Every time you replace the toner cartridge, you need to clean the inside of the printer. For more information on cleaning, see Cleaning in this chapter.
To ensure optimum print quality, be sure to use quality toner cartridges. To obtain toner cartridges, consult the dealer where you purchased the printer.
To replace the toner cartridge, follow these steps:
Open the top cover of the printer.
Remove the toner cartridge.
Never touch or clean the transfer roller, or print quality may deteriorate.
