Hey, I've just figured this out myself. Here is the procedure:
1. Open the front cover that gives you access to the toners. 2. Press and hold "Secure Print" and "Cancel" at the same time. You will see "K-TNR-STD" display on the screen. 3. Using the "+" and "-" buttons select the toner you want to reset. 4. Press the "Ok" button. 5. It will display "Ok?" and hit the "Ok" button again to reset the toner. 6. Close the lid.
All done!

I just put a new black toner in my HL3040 brother printer and it is still coming up replace toner. Is there anything that I can do,

It is possible that the new toner is faulty. A replacement may fix the problem. Otherwise, the printer may have a fault that results in inaccurate toner volume, etc...

In most printers there is a workaround.

You can probably navigate the menus and override the notification system.

Consult your user manual for turning off the alerts for low or empty toner.
Sometimes this is listed under "supplies" or some such verbage.

If you no longer have your manual, you may find one on brothers website under their support section.

Cheers!

How to check the toner level of Brother printer

It has no accurate measure of the toner left, it is reset when you put in a fresh toner and just counts prints. The Brother shines a light thru a little window from right to left and when the toner is empty the light shines thru and it says it's empty.

Ink shows empty when toner is not even close to empty

there is one thing that if you refill the cartriage and then use again then still ink indicator shows low ink as its' ckt is designed so.

there is no problem you can print easily.
your printer will show correct ink level when you put in new cartriage.

but remember one thing that if your printer stops printing and shows message on computer that no ink in cartriage ,, then you need to reset printer counter, (this resetting process is present in your printer manual)

so no problem in printing, it shows low ink because the circuit inside it is designed soo.

so that you purchase new cartriage.
(remember : you need to reset the counter , refer to manual)

Magicolor 5430 showing wrong toner levels

Are yo using genuine Minolta toner? Some generic toners do not replace the chip on the cartridge which tell the machine the toner levels. If this is not the case let me know. John A.
