5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with print quality or printer operation after installing a new toner cartridge, consider the following:

  • Poor Print Quality (Fading, Streaks, Spots):
    • Ensure the corona wire in the drum unit has been cleaned.
    • Check if the toner cartridge is properly seated in the drum unit and the drum unit in the printer.
    • Verify that you are using a genuine Brother toner cartridge. Non-genuine cartridges may lead to issues like leakage, lower page yield, and poor print quality (overspray, fading, flaking).
  • Printer Not Recognizing Cartridge:
    • Remove and reinsert the toner cartridge and drum unit assembly.
    • Ensure all protective packaging (e.g., orange pull tabs) has been removed from the new cartridge.
  • Printer Jams or Failures:
    • Using non-genuine supplies can increase the likelihood of printer failures, jams, and damage. Always use genuine Brother products.
