hi,
first of all maybe your file has a problem. DO NOT CHANGE your toner. Try to print only last page, or copy the content of the last page in the new document and the print it. Sometimes the printer can not recognise some files correctly and that is the major problem

Dumb question. Did you pull the strip from the toner cartidge? OEM or aftermarket? I would try the old cartidge and see if it changes if you don't have the old cartridge anymore I would contemplate replacing the one you just purchased or taking it back to where you purchased it and get an exchange for a defective cartridge.

your toner is empty refill or replace it. You can continue printing when the toner is empty but the faxes recieved will not be printed till the toner empty light is reset.

When you print something from a website and the print box comes up, click on preferences tab, and when it comes up click on color . Then click on print in grayscale and change the setting from High Quality to Black ink only, click apply at the bottom, then OK. It should print in black ink.

PRINTER HL5240 NO PRINT TONER LIGHT ON

turn off the printer and cacel all the documents from print spooler .and switch on it.

The drum is a very sensitive part. Should not touch with bare hand, expose to light for long, etc. With what did you clean,it.

I think you will find a power supply issue.
