cap on your
cartridge. Normally
hidden behind the
label

hopper cap using
needle nose pliers,
or a flat blade
screwdriver to lever
out the hopper cap.
5 WARNING: You must ensure all toner is
dumped from your cartridge before refilling with
the new toner. You must do this every refill.
Brother cartridges can leave as much as 25 grams of
waste toner in the cartridge, while reporting toner
empty/refusing to print. Important - mixing new and
old toner will cause print defects to occur.
Empty in an area
that can tolerate a
toner spill i.e. your
garage.
Toner can be very
messy - empty the
old toner directly
into a large bin bag.

of new toner
vigorously for 30
seconds BEFORE
removing the cap.

seal from the bottle

pouring spout
securely to the

into the hole. The
toner will flow out
like water, so take
care not to spill it.

inserted – carefully

cartridge and allow
the toner to slowly
pour into the
cartridge.

in your toner
cartridge, using the
