Question about Brother HL-2040 Laser Printer
Masking Tape Gives TN-350 Toner a Second Life, August 25, 2008

After the "Toner Life End" message appears, it refuses to printeven one more copy. Offensive...until you show it who's in charge.
Remove the cartridge and find 2 clear plastic port holes, one oneach side. The printer shines a light through these to decide when toshut you off. But it's too sudden and too early.
Cover one or both windows with a small piece of masking tape. I get about 3400 copies per cartridge instead of 2400.

Did you remember to remove the seal on the toner cart? this is a breakaway tab usually on the side, this when pulled removes the plastic seal,(from inside the cartridge)

I get 800 to 1100 extra copies from each cartridge.
