Toner refill can I refill the cartridges myself for this machine

There is a reset gear in the cartridge that needs to be "reset" or replaced. I've included a link to a PDF file that goes over the procedure to properly refill and reset the toner cartridge. This is a document that is used by a company that does a complete rebuild, so you probably won't need most of the information, just the part on resetting the reset gear.

Please let me know the model of your machine. In general, if you are having print quality issues, such as lines dots or black patches, these are usually due to toner cartridge. Genuine Replacement of Toner cartridge is advisable.
However, you may get your toner cartridge re-filled, if its parts are working properly. Cartridge parts like OPC, PCR and magnetic roller can be replaced. Re-filling the toner is always cheaper and costs around 1/4th of the new toner price. So, check for the price of new toner and compare.

I have refilled/ refurbished toners myself and had no issues. Properly re-filled/ refurbished cartridge would NOT cause any damage to the printer. So, you may get your toner refilled by some good professional and it would work fine.

Hope it helps. Let me know if any clarifications are required!

Make and Model??
Most fax machines use a replaceable toner cartridge that resets the counter when you change it.
Refilling a toner cartridge is impractical for the user.

Good day Sir,
I suggest do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled toner cartridge.
Always replace it with a new one and make sure the cartridge is genuine to prevent toner errors.

have a nice day!

I replaced already new toner cartridge for my brother fax machine mfc-2820 but still the on screen message is appearing on the display "TONER LIFE END".
Pls help me to solve this problem.

I would like my money back

Yeah you can refill your cartridge. It is really easy and consists of removing the plug on the side of the cartridge, dumping out any old toner and dumping in the new toner. Its very easy. I have purchased refill kits from both of these sites in the past and its worked great:

They also have great customer service. I hope this helps!

Dear sir,

1. open your printer cartridge drum cleaning blade unite wast toner clean.
2. open two side from your cartridge left side and right side
3. open plastic cork
4. filling toner
5. assembling again
6. start print

Did you remove the plastic tab from the toner cartridge?
It would not be the first time I have been called to a faulty printer to find the cartridge had not been correctly installed.

You say in your post that you refilled the toner. Did you replace the whole cartridge or pour toner into the machine?
Every machine has different toner have you checked that it is the correct type?

Also some cartridges have a chip embedded that tells the machine that it has been replaced it is possible that this has failed either in the cartridge or within the machine.

As far as I know, filling up with toner is not enough. There is an electronic chip that must also be replaced, so the toner cartridge tells the unit it is a new one. Check with your supplier for such chip.
