Just refilled a nearly new Brother DR2000 and

Just refilled a Brother TN2000 toner cartridge on a nearly new machine and suddenly copies are dirty and illegible. Did I over-fill and if so what can I do?

Who knows what you did wrong? - maybe nothing. But one of the following is the most likely reason:
- You simply topped up the cartridge with toner without completely emptying the the remaining toner out. There is always toner left-over inside, and different brands don't mix well.
- You used a brand of toner not designed for that cartridge.
- It's simply a crappy compatible brand - I've run across all kinds. All toner IS NOT created equal.

Brother 1510 replace toner problem

Assuming you have tried to replace an empty toner with a new or refilled toner cartridge. Some of these machine simply fail to recognise the reset activation lever on the side of the cartridge. You could try removing the end cap at the geared end. You will find a half moon shaped gear which needs to be lifted out slightly and rotated a quarter turn clockwise. replace any other gears and refit the cover. This resets the toner cartridge to "new" state. If you printer doesn't recognise this, you will need to get a manual reset keycode from brother. Please note - some folk reset used cartridges this way and re-use them. Used toner will contaminate the drum and give poor print. Any residual contaminated toner on the drum can contaminate a new cartridge and so-on. Refilled cartridges are fine if the cartridge is completely cleaned out first.

Can i refill tonner on MFC- 9440 CN laser printer

You can, but it a dirty job. I would not recommend it as the toner powder is very fine and you don't want to breath in this toner powder.
If you don't want to purchase a new toner cartridge, then I recommend you buy a re-manufactured toner cartridge for your model printer. They cheaper than the new Brother toner cartridges and usually contain more toner and the drum cartridge components have been refurbished.

Hello sir my brother tn-3250 laser toner blinking yellow light

Toner Blinking yellow LED indicates that the toner cartridge is nearly empty. Buy a new toner cartridge or refill the cartridge. Refilling the TN cartridges is quite simple and you can do it yourself.
It is a very simple process. Please refer to this video.

Let me know if any further clarification/ assistance is required.

Good Luck!
Appreciate generously, if the solution could have been of any help!

I have a Brother MFC-7440N machine. On 7/22/10

The toner cartridges have a small port on the side that the printer uses to check the toner level. Our 7440N tells us it will soon need a new toner cartridge and will then print another 400 copies. Search YouTube for Brother Toner Cartridge and it will show you how to modify the cartridge by covering up the portholes with tape. Since there is obviously some kind of sensor, you might need to get a can of air and clean out any extra toner. Lastly, the Brother cartridges have "reset gears" which are replaced when the cartridges are refilled. You might have a cartridge which the gears were not replaced on.

Getting ink splatters on copies

That is normal with this printer. I own a Cartridge World ink and toner refilling store and we've found that the new Brother color laser machines (that take the TN-110 or TN-115) drop toner speckles onto the pages. This is because the cartridges were designed poorly. We do not recommend new Brother color laser machines for this reason.

Screen says drum near end

Drum for Brother MFC-6800 All in One Machine
You can expect it to print 12,000 Page Yield
Whats the difference between a DRUM and a TONER Cartridge? The toner cartridge is a cartridge holding the toner (ink). The drum does the work to transfer the ink to the paper. You will need to replace the drum every 5-6 toner cartridges you use.
