I DON'T HAVE IT. HAVE BROTHER HL-2170 W PRINTER BUT DO NOT HAVE MANUAL. HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO REPLACE PAPER OR DRUM AND TONER.

there are a lot of reasons that causes spots on every copy.
these are some..
1. The drum is already old and has spots on it - replace
2. The toner cartridge is almost empty - replace
3. Damaged surface of hot roller. - replace
4. Toner scattering going to the paper tray. - clean

Hi there,
You can remove the jammed paper by removing the drum and toner inside the printer.
First Open the front cover, just pull down the cover right above the brother logo. You will see the handle for the drum and toner. Hold the handle and pull it towards you, just use a little force on it. Then remove the jammed paper inside. Just to be sure you can remove the toner from the drum by holding down the green tab on the side of the drum unit. then pull the toner out. Check if there's a small piece of paper inside the drum unit. Put the toner back to the drum make sure it clicks into place. Reinstall the drum and toner back to the printer. It should also click into place. Then close the cover.
Hope this helps. Rate if it works. Thanks

How to Change a Toner Cart in a Brother HL 2040

The Brother HL 2040 laser printer has a toner cartridge that supplies toner to the drum assembly so that the printer can print properly. When the LED on the front of the printer indicates you are low on toner, you will need to replace the toner cartridge to maintain good print quality. Fortunately, the toner cartridge can be replaced without any special tools.

Instructions
Things You'll Need:

* Replacement toner cartridge (part number TN350 or TN360)
* Paper towel or scrap paper



Grasp the front cover of the printer and pull it toward you to open the toner door. Reach into the printer and grab the combined toner cartridge/drum assembly. Lift up slightly and pull it out of the front of the printer.

Place the cartridge and drum on a paper towel, spare sheet of paper, rag or other surface that can get dirty. Loose toner particles may spill from the cartridge.

Press the blue locking lever on the cartridge/drum unit to unlock the toner cartridge from the drum. Lift the toner cartridge up and away from the drum unit. Dispose of the old toner cartridge in accordance with your local regulations. Seal it in a plastic bag to keep loose toner from spilling.



Gently shake your new toner cartridge back and forth a few times to distribute the toner evenly across the width of the cartridge. Remove the plastic protective cover from the bottom of the cartridge.


Place the new toner cartridge onto the drum unit and press it down gently until it locks into place. The blue locking lever will automatically click into place. Verify that the toner cartridge is securely connected to the drum.


Locate the corona wire cleaner tab at the front of the drum unit. Slide it back and forth several times to improve the print quality of the drum. Set the tab back in the home position when finished.


Slide the combined toner cartridge/drum unit back into the printer and close the front cover.


Hope it helps...

If you are having constant jamming issues, the first thing I would check is the paper guides on the cassette. Also make sure there is no paper under the toner cartridge/ drum and in the rear door of the printer.

Hi there,

This problem is often caused by spilled toner. Open the printer, carefully remove the cartridge, and give it a few bursts of compressed air. Often running several pages or type through will also fix this. If it persists, replace the toner cartridge.

Hope this initial info/idea helps. Let me know for any clarifications.

read page 60 of the manual:

1. Open Cover.
2. Press the Clear key to display drum status.
3. Press 1 (hold) on the telephone keypad.
4. When the display shows "ACCEPTED", close the front cover.
PRESTO!

You should be able to solve your issue by following the first 7 steps below for clearing paper jams. After that put your printer back together and see if it starts working. If not, follow the rest of the steps and you should be fine.

1. Open the front of the printer.
   
2. Slowly take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. Some of the jammed paper will be pulled out with the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
3. Set the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a piece of disposable paper or cloth in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
4. To prevent damage to the printer caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes inside the printer.
5. Close the front cover.
   
   Note: Do not put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly back in at this point.
   
   
6. Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.
7. Pull the jammed paper down and out of the printer.
8. Open the back cover (back output tray).
9. Still looking at the back of the printer, pull the tab toward you to open the fuser cover.
10. Pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit.
    
    HOT SURFACE
    After you have just used the printer, some internal parts of the printer will be extremely hot. Wait for the printer to cool down before you touch the internal parts of the printer.
    
    
11. Close the back cover (back output tray).
12. On the drum unit you set aside, push down the green lock lever and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit. Clear the jammed paper if there is any inside the drum unit.
    
    
    CAUTION
    Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
    
    To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the roller part of the toner. Try to keep you hands, fingers and everything else away from there.
    
    
13. Put the toner cartridge back into the drum unit until you hear it lock into place. If you put the cartridge in properly, the green lock lever will lift automatically.
14. Open the front cover. Put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly back in the printer.
15. Put the paper tray firmly back in the printer.
16. Close the front cover.
17. Make sure that the Error LED is now off.

The drum light will flash on my brother HL-5240 Laser Printer when printing but it continues to print just fine. Does this mean the drum needs to be replaced?
