I have a Brother HL-3170CDW color laser printer. I recently got toner low messages and found a trick to reset the meter since there is still a bunch of toner left unused.

My question is, what happens when I finally do completely run out of toner? I certainly don't want to damage my unit in an attempt to save a few bucks on toner, but if it's just a matter of waiting until it no longer prints and then swapping out the cartridge, that would be ideal!

Hopefully someone out there has tried this and can help me out. Thanks in advance for your help!
