Beware of Brother printers like this that require a proprietary chip on toner cartridge
For this MFCL2710 and other newer models of Brother MFC models (as well as DCP models) the printer must use a toner cartridge (TN730 or TN760) that has a proprietary chip on the toner cartridge. This makes it impossible to buy third party toner except toner that requires that you pop the chip off of a Brother-manufactured toner cartridge (TN730 or TN760) and stick it to the third party cartridge. Even then, the price of those third party cartridges is twice the typical price for third party cartridges that do not require the chip. Make SURE that you research the market for toner cartridges before you buy a Brother printer. Google third party toner for MFCL2710 vs cartridges for MFCL2700 and compare prices and requirement for proprietary chip on cartridges for MFCL2710. The older MFCL2700 can use third party TN660 toner cartridges that cost far less than the Brother-manufactured toner cartridge, and often half the cost of a third party TN760-equivalent toner cartridge. The TN660 cartridge does not have the chip, and the MFCL2700 does not require a cartridge with the chip attached to it.
