Brother Laser Printers Knowledge Base
Brother Laser Printers safe to use in bedroom? I have my brother laser printer in my bedroom, uses tn-330 toner. But my bedroom has little ventilation. So i was wondering if this printer is safe to continue to operate in my bedroom or should i move it to somewhere else with higher ventilation? I heard some printers emit toner particles that can cause lung cancer. I'm not sure if my brother printer is safe to operate or emits any dangerous particles.
Do you think Brother laser printers make fewer carcinogenic emissions than those tested in a recent study? A recent Australian study showed that some HP laserjet printers, though not all models, emit high levels of carcinogenic particles, worse than cigarettes - and also Toshiba and other makes. I suppose Brother laser printers have a different toner technology because they have replaceable drums as well as cartridges, so perhaps they are safer to be around than those that tested high. Is there any contributor with technical knowledge to comment on that? (Particularly Brother HL-1450, because I'm sitting right next to one!) Other printers in the test included Canon and Ricoh. HPLaserjet 4050 series were mentioned as having no such emissions, although the 4250 do.
What is the performance level of a BROTHER laser printer ? I am still looking for a good laser printer. A friend suggested a BROTHER laser printer selling for around 4,000 pesos. I think the model no is HL-2140. Do you know the performance level of a BROTHER laser printer sold at the 4,000 to 5,000 peso price range ? PS. I know that there are better models but those printers sells for 10,000+ pesos ( beyond my budget ) Thank you.
Can you clean the rollers in a Brother laser printer drum unit? We have a relatively new Brother HL 2035 laser printer that uses a Brother DR2005 drum unit. It seems that someone has run a piece of paper through it with fabric taped to the paper, in an attempt to print onto the fabric. The fabric and paper emerged, but a small quantity of tape has become stuck to one of the rollers. This leaves a repeating streak mark at approximately 10cm intervals down the page. Can this be cleaned, or 'printed out' with use, or do we need an entirely new drum unit? Thanks!
How do I print different documents from my Brother laser printer? I have a Brother 5250DN laser printer. I just installed a second tray. I am trying to print a letter size document and a legal size document at the same time. The top tray is for 8.5x11 paper and the buttom tray is for 8.5x14 paper. I am using a imac with 10.6.4. Any help would appreciated.
Can i use inkjet transfer paper in a Brother laser printer? hey folks! i purchased "Transfermations" Iron-on transfer sheets so i could get some designs on shirts, but on the back of the package it says to use an inkjet printer. i have a Brother DC-7030 laserjet printer and i'm curious as to whether any of you have attempted using inkjet transfer paper in a Brother laser printer and how that's gone for you! thanks guys, and i hope you have a wonderful day! :)
anyone have a Brother laser printer? I need a new laser printer for use at home, and would rather buy at a store instead of online, so there aren't many choices. How about the Brother HL-5240 or HL-5250DN ? Anybody got one? Like it, or not? Also: if you print a multi-page document, do the pages end up in the output tray in order (like an office laser printer), or do you have to shuffle them back to front (like most ink jets)? Thanks!
What paper is the best/safest for laser printers (not color)? I purchased the Brother 2040 B/W laser printer. I have some black and white photographs and wanted to print them out with the laser printer. However, I've heard that I can't use gloss paper because the heat will melt the coating and ruin the printer. Is there high quality photo paper for laser printers? Does it make a difference if the paper is for color laser printers as opposed to black and white? Factors such as weight, iso brightness, gloss, matte...it is all becoming very confusing with such a wide selection. The photos are pretty sharp and I want to use the highest possible quality paper that is the safest to use on the laser printer. I would like to get the most professional looking results possible with a laser printer. However, finding that paper is proving rather daunting! Thanks for all your help!

How much is toner for a laser cartridge? I have a Brother laser printer/scanner and I've NEVER EVER had to refill/buy a new cartridge for it because it never ran out for awhile.

Brother Laser printer printing blank pages :o( Help!? Ok, So I got a Brother MFC-7320 second hand. I have installed the drivers etc and all it does is print a blank page when I send a job. I have checked the toner (there's tons in there), the lcd tells me that there is 86% life left in the drum, and from what I can see the Corona wire is intact. Is there anyone out there who A: Might be able to tell me what is wrong with it? and B: how do I fix it? I quite often repair electrical items so if its possible I'd like to give it a go myself. If not then I will take it to a repair shop. OR if people think it is COMPLETELY SHOT then I will salvage parts from it :o) Many thanks for any replies! I would almost certainly say that this is a mechanical problem, not a software/settings issue.
Toner for brother HL-4070CDW colour laser printer? Where's the best (cheapest) place to buy brother brand toner cartridges for this brother colour laser printer, please?

How soon should laser printer drum be changed? About a week ago, I got a message displayed on my Brother laser printer, "change drum soon," so I ordered a drum on-line which just arrived.

I still get the message but have printed many hundreds of sheets of text since the message first appeared, and the printing looks fine. When will I know it's time to definitely change the drum, and can anything be damaged if I wait too long? Thanks.
What is the cost of running a laser printer? I don't know if to get a monochrome or colour laser printer? Colour would look nicer on the business mail, but if it costs too much, I'd sooner have black and white as I will not get any extra business in colour. I ditched my Brother Laser black and white printer as it was too expensive to run and it was of naff quality. I have got a colour ink-job one.
