FAQs
Is this cartridge compatible with my printer?
This cartridge is compatible with Brother HL-1110, 1111, 1112, 1118; DCP-1510, 1511, 1518; and MFC-1810, 1813, 1815, 1818 models.
How many pages will this toner print?
It provides a yield of approximately 1,500 pages, based on the industry standard of 5% page coverage.
Do I need to replace the drum as well?
No, this is a toner cartridge only. The drum unit is a separate component that usually requires replacement much less frequently.
Will using this toner void my printer warranty?
Generally, using non-OEM toner does not void your warranty unless it can be proven that the cartridge directly caused damage to the printer hardware.
How should I store these cartridges?
Store in an upright position in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
The printer displays a 'Toner Low' or 'Replace Toner' error
Ensure the cartridge is fully seated in the drum unit. If the error persists, try resetting the printer's toner counter according to your specific model's manual.
Prints have light vertical streaks or faded lines
Slide the corona wire cleaning tab on the top of the drum unit back and forth several times to remove any dust or debris accumulation.
Printer does not recognize the cartridge
Remove the cartridge and check the electrical contacts for any packaging residue. Re-insert it firmly and perform a hard power cycle on the printer.
