How to Install Brother TN450 Toner Cartridge
- Open the front cover of your Brother laser printer
- Pull the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly straight out
- Press the release lever and slide the old toner cartridge out of the drum unit
- Remove the new cartridge from packaging and shake it gently 5–6 times side to side to evenly distribute the toner
- Remove the protective cap and any sealing tape completely
- Insert the new cartridge firmly into the drum unit until it clicks
- Reinsert the drum and toner assembly into the printer and close the front cover
- Print a test page to confirm correct installation
If printed pages appear light: Remove the cartridge, gently rock it side to side to redistribute the toner, then reinstall and test again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this pack include two cartridges?
Yes. This listing contains two TN450 compatible black toner cartridges, each individually packaged.
What is the difference between TN420 and TN450?
The TN420 yields approximately 1,200 pages (standard yield); the TN450 yields approximately 2,600 pages (high yield). Both fit the same printers. The TN450 delivers a lower cost per page for regular printing.
Does this include a drum unit?
No. The TN450 is a toner cartridge only. Your existing drum unit stays in the printer — only the toner cartridge needs to be replaced.
My printer shows a "toner low" or non-genuine toner message. Is that normal?
Yes. Brother printers display alerts when compatible cartridges are installed. Press OK to continue — this does not affect print quality.
Will using a compatible toner cartridge void my Brother printer warranty?
No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, Brother cannot void your printer warranty solely because you used a compatible toner cartridge.
How long can I store the second unused cartridge?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For best results, install within 24 months of purchase.
