The “Replace Toner” message will appear on your laser printer when the machine thinks that it has come to the end of its useful life. This will normally occur many prints after the “Toner Low” message that precedes it.
Unlike more serious toner messages, these Brother laser printers will let you enter “Continue Mode” and continue printing until the toner within your TN2310 or TN2320 toner cartridge physically runs out.
Are There Any Disadvantages To “Continue Mode”?
As mentioned previously, Continue Mode allows you to use your Brother TN2310 or TN2320 until the toner physically runs out. The down side to this being once the toner runs out, your pages will fade. If you are printing a large amount, this may be pretty inconvenient.
