Try reseting the toner cartridge via the operations panel.

Do this by opening front door and pressing clear/back button, a menu will appear, we want to select C-TNR-S or C-TNR-H depending on if you are using Cyan/TonerStandard or Cyan/Toner/High Capacity, so use arrows to go to correct one then press ok to select it, then a new menu appears, we want to select 1 and ok to reset, then it should just go back to cover open.

That should do it, have you tried it? as I think I told you the same before, I also need to know if you are using original brother branded toners or refill/remanufactured ones. You can reach me via this question

    I think you need to put in a new Toner, not refill, original brother, and no I dont know anything about taking out any tray. I can only see where I told you to clean contacts, try reset and to try a new genuinne toner, and then if I look at you other posts you have spoken to others about this issue not me.

    I have found time and time again that refill toners dont reset the counter for these machines and the fix is to put in a real original non refill one, puting in another aftermarket doesnt fix it.

    Ill go now and double check our posts on this to be sure...

    Here is another customer with exact issue, or a near the same printer as your DCP 9040cn.. the reset work for her..

    I suspect your toner still, are you able to see the reset menu and select your toner to reset at least? We really need to try a toner designed by the manufacturer for this machine, unless we do, I will suspect the toner, even if you got 20 remanufactured ones. One brand new, sealed brother cyan toner and I think you problem is gone.

    Cheers

    oh ok I see, but I wont do any good without the drum because it is the drum that connects the toners to the machine, and your machine will hold the error condition until it rectified, so Im not sure what taking out the drum will acheive, all i can tell you if it was in my shop, first step do reset, , 2nd replace toner with a new brother branded one, 3rd clean contacts...if that failed I would try another drum, then if that failed one would replace the main board but if it got that far and was not under warranty it would be too costly to consider.. 90% of faults I see on these machines are due to the use of after market consumable stuff that causes most issues, hence my desire to first fit real toners, drums etc as most of time it is the issue. This is what I know from fixing brother printers for over 20years and it is from this experence in the field, not some affiliation with brother that I suspect the aftermarket toner

Can i refill tonner on MFC- 9440 CN laser printer

You can, but it a dirty job. I would not recommend it as the toner powder is very fine and you don't want to breath in this toner powder.
If you don't want to purchase a new toner cartridge, then I recommend you buy a re-manufactured toner cartridge for your model printer. They cheaper than the new Brother toner cartridges and usually contain more toner and the drum cartridge components have been refurbished.

I am changing the ink cartridge i put the new one in and it keeps saying End of life and it has a new cartridge what do i do

Here is the solution that will reset the count and allow your fully functional toner cartridge (the one the printer tells you is empty) to continue to work.

Open the front cover.
Press options button.
Press the start button.
Press + or up arrow button 10 times.
Press set button.

You have to do this with a long pause or the system will reset and you will have to start over.

Good luck.

Brothers MFC885cw can't recognize new cartridge

I have to ask this question of you, just to make sure this is not an issue. Are you using a factory new ink or toner cartridge?
Please consider the following:
If you are using a refilled (the absolute worst possible choice) or third party cartridges (2nd. Worst possible choice) that may well be your problem. Most manufacturers build logic into their products to prevent the use of “Other Equipment Manufactured” cartridges as well as re-filled cartridges.
They do this to prevent problems from contaminated inks or toner causing problems with print quality or damaging the physical printhead or photo conductors.
If you are using factory new ink or toner cartridges, then please call the manufacturer’s Technical Support for assistance with the warranty on the cartridges

There's a window on each end of the cartridges and light shines thru to show when they're empty, your refill toner may not be the right density. If you put a small piece of electrical tape over the windows on the cartridge, the error will go away, but you have to watch print quality to change or add toner.

Color cartridge

The Brother machine will not print if the message "Toner Empty X" ( X =C for Cyan, M for Magenta, Y for Yellow and K for Black) is displayed on the LCD. The empty toner(s) must be replaced in order to continue printing. Incoming faxes will be stored in the memory until the toner(s) is replaced.
