Consumable Support

Brother

Toner Barn must send all faulty Item claims to Brother Australia for evaluation. To evaluate your return,
Brother require a print sample, copy of the original tax invoice or proof of purchase and a print configuration report
with all ink, toner and/or drum returns. If Brother rejects the claim, a job sheet and the item will be returned to you with
your next order. Thermal transfer rolls will be replaced only. Please note: This process may take up to 8 weeks to
complete.

Canon

All Canon items must weigh above the minimum return weight for approval. Canon ink cartridges will be tested
and checked against the fault claimed. The Canon approval decision will be made based on the results of these tests.
Canon toner cartridges must have a test page of the fault. If a test page is not supplied the claim will be rejected,
as we cannot pursue the claim with Canon. All items will also be checked for refilling, remanufacturing and
tampering. All of which will void any warranty the item may have.

Epson

All Epson inks have a 6-month warranty period from the date of the original invoice. Empty Epson cartridges will
not be accepted for credit. Credits will only be issued for original Epson product being returned.

Fuji Xerox / Fuji Film

Toners and Drums returned as faulty will be checked by a Fuji Xerox technician. The technician will require
specific information detailing what is wrong with the item and a print sample of the fault is required, if insufficient
information is given, the Fuji Xerox technician will reject the claim. The results of the technician’s inspection will be
used to determine whether the claim is accepted or not. Empty Fuji Xerox cartridges will not be accepted.

HP

Hewlett Packard will not accept any expired, refilled, or remanufactured ink cartridges. Ink cartridges will also be
checked against HP’s minimum return weights. If a cartridge is below this weight, then HP will classify it as empty.
To check the expiry date on HP ink cartridges, see the HP returns data page. HP toner cartridges will require a
print sample of the fault and are tested under the same process as the ink cartridges.

Faulty Konica Minolta items must be returned with print samples and/or descriptions of the fault. Items will be
weighed and tested for faults by Konica Minolta.

Centre on 1800 807 472 and follow the voice prompts to the Technical Support department. There the customer
can discuss their issue with the Technical Support Team. If OKI deems the customers claim to be substantiated,
then the customer will be directed to forward the faulty item to their nearest OKI representative for assessment. If
the item is faulty, OKI will issue replacement stock. If you do not wish to deal with OKI directly then Toner Barn can
deal with this on your behalf but please understand this will take a little longer and may require you to take your
printer to an authorised OKI agent for inspection.

Panasonic

Fax rolls will not be accepted back as faulty items. If you have a problem with these items, please call the
Panasonic service centre. Panasonic require the following information before accepting any Toner or Drum unit
for assessment; a sample of what the products are doing, meter readings of when the toner/drum was installed
and a reading of when it faulted. Panasonic are very strict with this and unless they have all three, they will not
assess the goods. Toner Barn has no option but to insist that these three items of information must be
supplied to us with your Return Request or your claim will have to be denied.

claim is accepted or not.

information detailing what is wrong with the item, if insufficient information is given, the sharp technician will reject
the claim. The results of our technician’s inspection will be used to determine whether the claim is accepted or
not.

Q-Imaging

cannot be found or does not match our records then the cartridge must be returned to Toner Barn with no exceptions.
