If you are not getting satisfactory print results from your laser printer, your printer may be running low on toner. As such, you might encounter error messages like “Cartridge is very low,” “Toner very low,” and many more. To address the issue, you need to replace the old toner in your printer with a new one.
There are basically two kinds of toner setups on laser printers—integrated drum-toner setup and detachable drum-toner setup. Although the setup is different, it is quite easy to replace the toner in both types of printers. However, you need to be cautious while changing the toner in your laser printer.
Don’ts of Replacing Toner in Printer
Here are a few things you need to consider when you are replacing the toner in your printer.
Replace Toner in Brother Printer
Most of the Brother printers come with a separate drum-toner unit. Meaning, the drum and toner unit comes as separate unit, and you need to detach the toner from the drum unit before replacing it.
Replace Toner in HP Printer
Unlike Brother printers which come with a separate drum-toner assembly, HP printers have an integrated drum-toner unit. It means the drum unit is replaced when you replace the toner cartridge.
Replace Toner in Canon Printer
Like HP printers, Canon printers also incorporate a single unit for drum-toner assembly. It means you are also changing the drum unit when replacing the toner unit.
