Problem with Brother Hl-2240 Compact Laser printer. The Error light will not stop blinking after I replaced athe toner cartridge

The first time I put the new toner in , the light was not blinking. When I printed the paper had a line along the edge. I had to take the toner and drum back out and I realized I had not returned the slider tab back to the home position. I did that, but now the error light will not go off.

This usually means your printer is out of paper or there is a paper jam somewhere.

Do not try to depress the green lever, since you need to remove the cartridge AND its base altogether. Just grab the front middle part of the assembly, pull it out slowly and steadily. You may need to apply extra force in doing so as it does take some effort to disengage the cartridge assemly from its seated position.
After the cartridge is removed, you may find some jamed paper inside. simply remove it and the printer should work again.
You may email me at [email protected] should you have further questions.

I have a Brother HL-2142 Compact High quality mono laser printer and I am having trouble putting the new toner cartridge back in as it flashes error and the paper gets jammed. I dont know where the...

Open the front door and pull the whole toner and drum unit out of printer. The toner locking lever is usually on the left hand side as you see it and is usually blue in colour. It needs compressing and at the same time lift the front of the toner cartridge out of the drum unit. Your new cartridge will simply lock into place. When you install the complete unit and close the door, the new toner cartridge will reset your printers counter.

Brother Laser HL-5240 has a status light and toner light. Fuser was replaced but no help.

that error usually indicates that the toner has reached its end of life
or the drum is not properly installed.

i had one person who put the toner in but threw the drum cartridge away.
