Brother strongly recommends that customers use only genuine Brother drum units and/or toner cartridges. Each Brother laser printer is designed to work at pre-set temperatures that are matched exactly to each of our individual toner formulations. Each individual component is designed to work with the other to ensure quality and reliability. Using non-Brother supplies may affect the hardware performance, print quality and machine reliability. The Brother limited warranty does not apply to any issue that is caused by the use of unauthorised third party drum units, toner cartridges or toner.
If the error message still continues to appear, contact Brother Customer Service from "Contact Us".
