How do I install the Brother TN450 Toner Cartridge?
Make sure the printer is on and has had at least 10 minutes to cool down. Open the toner compartment’s cover. Exercising caution, pull the old cartridge out. Remove the new cartridge from the packaging and gently shake it so the toner is distributed evenly throughout. Firmly insert the cartridge into the drum unit; you should hear a click when it’s secure. Close the cover.
You’re ready to print!
What should I do if my printer doesn't recognize the new TN450 toner replacement?
Note that failing to recognize a cartridge doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem with your printer or Brother TN450 toner replacement. You may just need to reset the toner counter.
The process may vary by printer model. For printers from Brother’s HL line, turn off the printer and open the front cover. Press and hold the ‘GO’ button while turning the printer back on. Keep holding the button until all LEDs light up. Press the ‘GO’ button two times; the LEDs should light up and stay solid. Now, press the ‘GO’ button five times. Close the cover.
Will using a compatible toner cartridge void my printer's warranty?
Using a compatible toner cartridge will not void your printer's warranty. It is completely legal to use remanufactured or non-branded ink and toner cartridges, and doing so will not affect your warranty coverage. Printer manufacturers cannot impose restrictions on warranty coverage based on the brand of cartridges used.
Are compatible toner cartridges as reliable as original ones?
The reliability and performance of compatible cartridges will depend on the brand. Our Brother TN450 toner cartridges are engineered to meet or exceed the performance of OEM cartridges, and they’re rigorously tested before being sold. Buy our discount printer ink and toner cartridges with full confidence.
How do I know when it's time to replace the TN450 toner cartridge?
When the toner cartridge is nearly expired, your Brother printer should display a “Replace Toner” or “Toner Low” message. Your prints may be faded or lighter than usual, and the output quality will continue diminishing over time. We highly recommend keeping at least one replacement cartridge on hand at all times so you can avoid workflow interruptions.
How should I store my Brother TN450 toner to ensure its longevity?
Store your ink and toner cartridges in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and extreme temperatures. For extra protection, it’s best practice to keep the cartridges in their original packaging until they are installed.
What should I do if I experience print quality issues after installing a new TN450 toner cartridge?

We honor 30-day returns, so you can easily get an exchange or refund on the off chance you receive a defective cartridge.
