The Print Head, Platen Roller, and Cutter will wear during the life of the printer and may need replacement depending on different factors such as media type and volume printed. Tracking the print distance and cutter counts can be used as a guide for predicting future replacement timing. Cutter sharpness is also affected by factors other than the number of cuts.

Use the following methods to check the replacement period:

• Print and confirm by printing the Printer Settings Report using keys or menu.

  For more information, see Related Topics: Confirm Printer Settings.

• Print and confirm by printing the printer information using the BRConfiguration Tool. For more information about the BRConfiguration Tool, go to the BRConfiguration Tool Guide at support.brother.com/g/s/es/htmldoc/brconfiguration/eng/index.html.

• Confirm part replacements through BRAdmin Professional.

  To download BRAdmin Professional 4 software (Windows only), go to support.brother.com.
