How to Change a Brother Toner Cartridge

Learn how to change a Brother toner cartridge effortlessly with our detailed step-by-step guide. Follow these simple instructions to maintain your printer's performance and ensure high-quality prints. 

1. Locate the Cartridge Slot: Before installing the new toner cartridge, take a moment to identify the cartridge slot inside your printer. It should be in the same area where you removed the old toner cartridge from. Ensure that the slot is clean and free from any debris.
   
   

2. Align the Cartridge: Take the new toner cartridge out of its packaging, being careful not to touch the green drum roller or the toner roller to prevent smudges or damage. Look for any tabs, arrows, or markings on the cartridge that indicate the correct orientation for insertion.
   
   

3. Insert the Cartridge: Hold the new toner cartridge by its sides, with the label facing upward and the arrow or tab aligned with the corresponding slot in the printer. Carefully slide the cartridge into the slot, ensuring that it goes in straight and level. Apply gentle pressure as you push the cartridge in until it stops.

4. Secure the Cartridge: Once the cartridge is fully inserted, ensure that it is securely in place. You should feel or hear a click as the cartridge locks into position. Double-check that the cartridge is seated properly and that there are no gaps or loose ends.
   
   

5. Close the Cover: After confirming that the new toner cartridge is installed correctly, close the printer cover securely. Make sure it latches shut properly to prevent any dust or debris from entering the printer.
   
   

6. Avoid Excessive Handling: Try to minimize handling of the toner cartridge once it's installed. Excessive handling can lead to toner spills or damage to the cartridge, which can affect print quality and printer performance.
   
   

7. Dispose of Packaging: Dispose of the packaging materials from the new toner cartridge responsibly. Many manufacturers provide instructions for recycling or disposing of toner cartridge packaging in an eco-friendly manner.
