SOURCE: Brother 5240 laser printer changed toner still wont work.

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

SOURCE: Brother Laser HL-5240 has a status light and toner

that error usually indicates that the toner has reached its end of life
or the drum is not properly installed.

i had one person who put the toner in but threw the drum cartridge away.

We have a Brother 5240. We inserted a new drum and toner and the drum light still blinks. Can you advise what the problem is. Thank you

Before you replace the drum you have to clear the error message. To do that you have to Make sure that the printer is turned on and the Drum LED is blinking. Press the front cover release button and then open the front cover. Press and hold down Go for about 4 seconds until all the LEDs light up. Once all four LEDs are lit, release Go.
Here's a link to the Brother website on how to replace the drum with images and instructions.

How do you replace the drum properly on a Brother HL-5240

Out with the old and in with the new, you remove the toner and drum together, remove the toner from the old drum by pressing the blue lever on the side, install the toner in the new drum, and re install in the printer. With the front door open press the go button til all lights flash and then close the door, the new drum is reset.
