Brother laser printers and toner cartridges are a common sight in offices and print shops around the world due to their popularity and high quality printing that they offer. Yet this excellent product can become a real headache once the toner starts to run low and it is time to replace the cartridge. So, for the benefit of office workers worldwide, let’s take a look at some tips and tricks for replacing your Brother toner cartridge.

Laser printers are interesting products that use static electricity and lasers to print a page instead of the traditional method of squirting ink on the paper. The printer functions by using static electricity to charge a photosensitive drum with the image to be printed, sticking the ink to the paper as it passes through the machine. The paper then rolls between a pressure and heat roller that melts the toner onto the page for the final product. On average a Brother toner cartridge can print about 1,500 or more pages before needing to be replaced.

Replacing a Brother toner cartridge is a fairly simple process once you have done it in the past. To begin open the front panel on the printer and pull out the drum unit, placing it on the table in front of you. This is the unit that places the charged toner particles on the paper before it passes through the heat roller. Removing the toner cartridge is as simple as pressing the locking lever and pulling out the black plastic reservoir. Then take the replacement cartridge, shake it side-to-side a few times to make sure the toner is evenly distributed, slide it into the drum and put the unit back in the machine to finish the process. Now that you have gone through your first cartridge replacement the next attempt will be easy as pie. And remember, always recycle your cartridges when they are empty!
