Brother TN-2480 Black Toner Cartridge

The Brother TN-2480 is a genuine, high-yield black toner cartridge designed for use with specific Brother monochrome laser printers and multi-function centers. As a consumable component, it contains black toner powder that is electrostatically transferred onto paper to create text and images during the printing process. This cartridge is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) product from Brother, ensuring optimal compatibility and performance with the designated printer models.

The Brother TN-2480 black toner cartridge is primarily used for monochrome (black and white) printing in compatible Brother laser printers and multi-function centers. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

Preparation: Ensure the compatible Brother printer is powered on and ready. Open the printer's front cover or the designated cartridge access area. Refer to your printer's user manual for specific instructions.

Removing Old Cartridge (if applicable): If you are replacing an empty cartridge, carefully remove the old one by following the printer's instructions. This usually involves releasing a locking mechanism or pulling the cartridge straight out.

Unpacking the New Cartridge: Remove the new Brother TN-2480 toner cartridge from its packaging.

Shaking the Cartridge: Gently shake the new toner cartridge horizontally several times to distribute the toner powder evenly inside. This helps ensure consistent print quality.

Removing Protective Seals: Remove any protective tapes or seals from the new toner cartridge as indicated.

Installation: Align the new toner cartridge with the guides inside the printer and slide it firmly into place until it clicks or locks.

Closing the Cover: Close the printer's front cover or cartridge access area securely.

Printing: The printer will typically initialize or calibrate after a new toner cartridge is installed. You can then resume printing.

Maintenance:

Storage: Store the toner cartridge in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original packaging until ready for use to prevent damage or toner leakage.  

Handling: Handle the toner cartridge with care. Avoid dropping or subjecting it to strong impacts.

Avoid Opening: Do not attempt to open or refill the toner cartridge, as this can lead to damage, leaks, and void the warranty.

Printer Maintenance: Regularly maintain your Brother printer according to the manufacturer's recommendations (e.g., cleaning the drum unit, fuser unit) to ensure optimal performance and prolong the life of the toner cartridge and printer.  

Low Toner Warning: Pay attention to low toner warnings displayed by your printer. Replace the cartridge when the print quality starts to decline or when the printer indicates it is empty.
