How do I reset the laser cartridge in Brother printers?

Our printer may not print properly, paper may be jammed, we may need to reset the toner, or the compatible consumable may not be compatible with our device, among other things. If your Brother printer displays messages such as “Change Toner“, “Toner Depleted” or “Toner Error“, the solution is simple. Sometimes when we install compatible toner, our computer may not recognize it. So, to solve this problem, we recommend that you try to restart the consumable. In this article, you will find solutions on, How do I reset the laser cartridge in Brother printers?

Try the following steps to reset the laser cartridge for Brother printers:

  1. Open the printer cover (the cover into which the toner is inserted).
  2. When you see the message on the screen: “Cover open”, press the “Clear” or “Delete” button.
  3. After pressing this button, the printer beeps and the message “Replace drum?
  4. Now, on the numeric keypad, press 00 and “Enter”.
  5. Once these steps have been completed, close the cover and let the printer restart.

This problem is not uncommon with Brother laser printers. Other Brother laser printers may have an internal page counter that is reset to zero when the consumable is changed. Thus, in other types, the reset does not occur automatically. In addition, the unit may associate the toner with an error and not mark it as new. For this reason, we must manually tell the printer that we have inserted a new consumable and that it must be reset.

It is very important that you read all of the steps before you begin resetting the toner in the Brother printer. It is not too difficult, but the process requires attention.
