Ink & Toner Shipments
For Refresh Ready printers with subscription-ready cartridges installed at time of enrollment: Your Refresh Subscription became active immediately when you enrolled. You’ll receive your first Refresh Subscription ink/toner shipment when your current ink/toner levels start to run low. For printers without Refresh subscription-ready cartridges installed at time of enrollment: Within one week after enrolling, you’ll receive your first supply of Refresh Subscription ink/toner. Install your Refresh cartridge(s) right away to activate your Refresh EZ Print Subscription. How do I know if my printer has Refresh subscription-ready cartridges installed? You can check by going to your Account Dashboard and at the top of “Your Printer and Plan Details” section you’ll see a notification. If this notification says “you’re using a non-Refresh cartridge” or “Insert your Subscription Activation Cartridge(s)” then you do not currently have subscription-ready cartridge(s) installed. For further assistance, call our Refresh Subscription Specialists at (855) 996-0277 Monday-Friday 9am-9pm ET.
You’ll automatically receive new ink/toner when your printer needs it; there is no set schedule. Brother’s exclusive printer technology monitors your ink/toner levels and immediately sends out new Refresh Subscription ink/toner when you start to run low, so you never run out. For further assistance, call our Refresh Subscription Specialists at (855) 996-0277 Monday-Friday 9am-9pm ET.
You can track your ink/toner shipments by going to your Account Dashboard > Menu > Shipping information > Scroll to the View Tracking button on the bottom right. For further assistance, call our Refresh Subscription Specialists at (855) 996-0277 Monday-Friday 9am-9pm ET.

Viewing Print Volume, Rollover & Additional Pages
You can monitor how many pages you’ve been printing by going to your Account Dashboard. The main screen shows your current month’s print activity.

For further assistance, call our Refresh Subscription Specialists at (855) 996-0277 Monday-Friday 9am-9pm ET.
Unused pages may roll over up to the applicable plan-specific rollover cap and are subject to your selected subscription plan. Rollover eligibility and caps vary by plan and will adjust upon any plan change.
Each print plan allows you to print more pages than your plan allotment. When this occurs, you will receive an email notification and you can choose to: - Stay on your current plan and simply pay additional page set charges. Each plan has a different number of additional pages you can print per $1 added charge. - Upgrade to a plan that includes more pages to avoid additional page charges. - To view your plan options or to change your plan, go to your Account Dashboard > Menu > My Plans and Printers > Change Plan For further assistance, call our Refresh Subscription Specialists at (855) 996-0277 Monday-Friday 9am-9pm ET.

Troubleshooting & Notification
Your Refresh Subscription does not work unless you have Refresh Subscription ink/toner cartridge(s) installed in your printer. If you recently enrolled and see this message: you will receive your Refresh Subscription cartridge(s) within one week after enrolling. Install the Refresh Cartridge(s) in your printer immediately upon receipt to activate your subscription. For further assistance, call our Refresh Subscription Specialists at (855) 996-0277 Monday-Friday 9am-9pm ET.
When you see this notification, please check and ensure that your printer is powered on and connected to WIFI. When your printer is offline, your Refresh Subscription cannot monitor your ink/toner levels and you run the risk of running out of ink/toner and not being able to print. If you have confirmed that your printer is powered on and connected to WIFI, and you are still having trouble with this, please contact a Refresh Subscription Specialist at (855) 996-0277 Monday-Friday 9 am-9 pm ET, and we will be glad to assist you.

There are a few reasons that could cause you to be unable to print. 1. Have you checked that your printer is powered on and connected to WIFI? If this is not the case, then your printer will not print. 2. Did you remove any Refresh Subscription Ink/Toner Cartridge(s)? Removing a Refresh Subscription cartridge or removing just one of your four Refresh Subscription color cartridges and replacing it with a non-Refresh cartridge will cause your printer to stop printing. 3. Are you experiencing a credit card processing issue? Brother may temporarily cease access to your Refresh Subscription if we cannot collect payment from your credit card, in which case your printer will stop functioning until we receive payment. To update your credit card: Go to your Account Dashboard > Menu > Billing Information > Update Billing Information > Enter required fields > Save Updates.
