Brother Drum Reset Instructions


The Drum LED continues to blink if the drum counter was not reset when you replaced the drum. To reset the drum follow the instructions below:
Press the cover release button and then open the front cover of the printer.


Press and hold down Go button until all 4 LEDs are lit. Once all 4 LEDs are lit, release the Go button.

Close the front cover.
Make sure that the Drum LED is now off.
Reset the drum counter only when you replaced the drum unit with a new one.

SOURCE: lexmark e250dn printer, toner light is flashing, new cartridge

Could be photoconductor at end of life.

You shoul still be able to do a printer test print (press the arrow button).

Look on the printed pagesfor Toner AND Photoconductor.

These show as OK when new or very low count, and 100% when fully used.

If the toner is showing as 100% when you've just replaced it, either the chip is faulty, the wrong one, or if the cartridge is a remanufactured one possibly nor been replaced.

SOURCE: Dell 1700 laser printer has Low toner and error lights flashing

Try removing the toner cartridge and putting it back in place.

Try also unplugging power cord for ten minutes, and check if this clears error message.

Inspect the printer for foreign objects, or paper stuck inside.

If this does not work, it is a faulty drum.

I replaced the toner for the printer and the toner

No, remanufactured cartridges are just as good, and better for the environment if you get them from a reputable dealer. I buy all my toner cartridges from Qtoner.com and am very happy with them after trying a lot of other knock off non quality refurbished toner cartridges. You just have to find the right vendor.

With brothers, you have to manually tell the printer that you changed it. It tells you how in your owners manual. If you can't find it let me know and I can walk you through it to the best of my ability.

Hope this helps!

Alarm light flashes; lcd toner low. But it's not!

How do you know toner is not low? You can't get rid of the message. The toner sensor is within the printer, and if it says 'toner is low', then it either "is" or the sensor is defective.

2200d hp laserjet

The green flashing light lets you know that the machine is recieving data. This is completely normal, however, the red (Attention) light can mean several things. There can be a door open, missing toner cartridge, out of paper, or paper jam. In this cause it is probably the toner cartridge. Typically on these machines there is an Orange or Green tab on the side of the toner cartridge that needs to be pulled to fully engage the cartridge. You may want to make sure this has been pulled and the cartridge has been properly seated.

Hope this helps...let me know if you need any further assistance

Toner

Likely thing is that you have a faulty toner cartridge return it to the store and ask for a replacement in exchange as yours is faulty. IF this does not cure the fault then maybe the drum unit causing the fault and this may need replacing.

Keeps showing J1 error, toner light is flashing

The J1 error means the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Since you just replaced the cartridge, you should remove the cartridge and repeat the following steps.. Shake the new toner cartridge horizontally four or five times and then remove the cover. Slide the new toner cartridge in until it locks in place. It sounds like the cover may still be on the cartridge.
