To make sure your product is genuine, follow these simple steps

Check the security label on the packaging of your toner, ink or drum unit. Then go to www.brother.com/id and check the hologram matches the one displayed. You can then enter the ID from the carton for further confirmation of your product's authenticity. 

Using your Smartphone:

• Download a data matrix code reader app (QR only reader app may not work)
• Open the reader app, scan the Data Matrix code and enter the verification page
• The ID will be automatically checked and you will see the green tick if the product is genuine
• To verify further, check the hologram matches the one displayed on the verification page
• If the code reader doesn't work please enter the information manually at www.brother.com/id
