Frequently Asked Questions

 

How will I know if it’s time to replace the toner cartridge in the Brother MFC-8300 printer?

When the toner cartridge in the MFC-8300 starts running low on toner, the display shows the ‘TONER LOW’ error message. Get a replacement toner cartridge immediately when this happens.

 

When the ‘TONER EMPTY’ error message appears on my MFC printer, will I be able to continue printing?

No. Once the ‘TONER EMPTY’ appears on the display of your MFC printer, you can no longer print until you install a new toner cartridge.

 

What will happen if I leave a new toner cartridge unpacked for a long period of time?

The toner life is shortened if you unpack a toner cartridge and leave it uninstalled for an extended period.
