  If your Brother Printer LCD displays 'Toner Low', it means that the toner cartridge is nearing the end of its life. You can still print for a while, but it's recommended to order a new toner cartridge now, so you have a replacement ready when the printer displays 'Replace Toner' or 'Toner Ended'.
