Description
Brother offers a variety of authentication methods to ensure that your ink or toner is genuine. The label on the ink or toner will have one or more authentication dots or numbers, as well as multi-angle text that will indicate whether the ink or toner is genuine. If the ink or toner does not have these features, it is likely a counterfeit product. Additionally, using non-genuine ink or toner may cause printouts to be in poor quality or damage your machine.
