Hi.
My Brother 5240 laser printer Toner light comes on I have replaced toner powder & light still comes on obviously printer will not print any documents.
Is there any reset that has to be done once you replace toner ?
Any help would be apprieciated.
Chris...
This works on several different Brother Printers to get rid of toner/drum empty errors:
1. Open the front cover and leave open while completing the following
steps.
2. Turn the printer off.
3. Hold the 'go' button while
turning the printer on. All panel lights should be on.
4. Release the
'go' button.
5. Press the 'go' button 2 times.
6. Pause.
7.
Press the 'go' button 5 times.
8. The toner light should be off.
9.
The paper light should be on or flashing [doesn't happen on all].
10. Close cover. The ready
light should be the only light on.
When a brand new toner is inserted it has a switch that is activated when new cart is installed. Machine has two toner light errors blinking is toner low, full on is toner out all stop, I guess yours has not reconised new cart, was it new out of a sealed box? If so then it failed to reset upon install You can pull apart reset lever on left front of cartridge and reset to original position if you want to get just a little tecnical One sctew carefull gears fall off ,white lever needs to be fully to rear of slot to emulate new cart status.. If brand new cart return to supplier as faulty. If you just refilled it, go buy a real one to prolong life of your product
When it is in correct position it hits a switch on inside left that resets counter, after insertion the switch should return to front position. I reset when needed and I just losen front screw and push lever back, maybe true home posion is not fully back but at 9 o'clock Cartridge also has a visial switch that looks threw a little window that runs entire lenght of cart but if you have refilled it then that should not be your issue. I'm sure it is the switch, I dont recomment refilling have seen it cause oh so many issues.

Hi.
Thanks for coming back so quickly.
The cartridge is the original & we refilled it with toner.
It has 2 screws holding the side on that covers the gears there is a very short plastic arm connected to a gear this is in the full back position & locks in to place.
I have tried it both forward & backward.
still no joy I have ordered a new cartridge but it wont arrive untill Tuesday.
I use this printer at work & need it for today & monday.
If you can suggest anything else for a quick get you out of trouble thing to do.
