Does this printer come with print toner or do I need to order it separately?

It comes with a starter toner cartridge, which is supposedly low capacity. I bought this a year ago and have gone through 2 reams of paper (500 pages) and I am still on the original starter toner!

Is there a setting that will extend Toner use beyond Brother's "normal" ("Continue"?)?

I have three different models of Brother printers, this model, Brother HL-L2300D and HL-L2380DW. I too tried to see if there is low toner, "extended range" setting that allows for more printing beyond toner empty warning, where all printing stops. There isn't because there is a physical rotating switch on the toner that once it reaches the empty setting, it tells the machine that it is empty and it cannot be electronically over-ridden. I went through 6 TN-660 high capacity cartridges in less two years, which I thought it was excessive for my office. I opened up a supposedly empty toner cartridge and much to my chagrin, it still had about 20% of toner ink left. The toner ink indicator can be reset manually if you take apart the toner, which I did. Now, I am getting couple hundred more pages before it really runs out of toner. Furthermore, toner refills are way more economical than buying a new toner cartridge. I wouldn't refill these multiple times, maybe only one or twice as the plastic gears in them probably won't last through several refill cycles. Ink Owl on Youtube has a good tutorial on refilling these toners. Refilling and resetting the empty indicator is relatively easier on this toner than other models and manufacturers. I am also approaching the end of life on the drums, which is supposedly good for 12,000 pages. I find that it is just as cheap or cheaper to buy a whole new printer with toner cartridge bundle when it's on sale (buy the cheapest model that uses the same drum - Brother HL-L2300D) than to just buy the replacement drum. In case the printer craps out, you got a whole new printer. Otherwise, I would take (cannibalize/scavenge - what horrible sounding words) the drum from the cheapest printer which I bought for such purpose and use it on my more capable, higher model printer.
