Firstly take out the Drum Carriage. Pull it out as far as it can go then on the left side of the Drum Rail there is a leaver which when turned allows the drum carriage to come out fully. Put the drum carriage down carefully on a flat surface. The rails of the carriage are set lower than the drums so if the surface is flat the drums don't rest on the surface.
Secondly lift out the Transfer Belt (the glossy black plastic thing beneath where the drum carriage is normally) using the handle available. Put this down also on a flat surface carful not to damage the plastic sheet or leaving fingerprints on it.
Thirdly lift out the WT cartridge which sits below where the Transfer Belt sits in the machine. This cartridge is the Waste Toner Box. These are purchased from your brother supplier and are rated to approximately 50,000 pages and are quite cheap to buy. I am guessing you could empty it if you really wanted to but then you have to figure what to do with the waste toner from it. To my knowledge the Landfills look poorly on disposal of waste toner in their landfill.

SOURCE: Brother 4070 Printer will not recognize new toner cartridge

Hi

Just cover the eyes (on both sides) that you can see in the bottom of the machine after removing the imaging cartrige with a small piece of electrical tape.

With printer switched on push the switch which is located inside the upper left side of printer (it is a small white switch) and then release it. 


Also try resetting the gear, take the cartridge out. On the gear side take off 2 screws, the black gear on top right side, with a small spring underneath. Just take it off and reset it (rotate clockwise) so it is not at the stopping point.

Please do accept this solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

SOURCE: how do i clean the waste toner box on my brothers

Hi, usually that ink is water soluble. If you can get the box out, warm water will do. If not scrape out as much as you can and wipe the rest with a damp rag, easy does it.

like the name suggest, it collects waste toner. Any toner that is left over from the print process is waste toner. Once the waste toner bottle is full, the printer will stop working until You have replaced it with an empty waste toner bottle. So in short, if it is telling u to get a new one, get one or the other option is to empty it yourself which is very messy and if u dont clean the bottle of all toner dust, may not even work.

Testimonial: "I had no clue what a waste toner box is. Your response helped me. Thank you."

Make sure the box is in the unit correctly and is completely seated in its holder. Either one of these could result in the unit not recognizing that you have replaced the bottle.

Brother HL3170CDW printer. Waste Toner Box clearing error message.

There is a section at the end of this post

  1. If error message still says replace waste toner box, then you need to check the sight glass again. The flag must be horizontal at the bottom of the glass or it is not completely empty.

How do I empty and reset the waste toner box WT-220CL in a Brother Printer MFC-9340CDW

On most color machines emptying the waste toner cartridge isn't an issue because the auger system dumps it into the waste toner. The brother machines before this a different way and have a cleaning blade in them. This blade wears out over time and needs to be replaced. Those waste toners last forever in that machine so your better off just replacing it. Other wise you probably are going to make a huge mess just to have problems once you get it back together.

Reset wast toner box on 9970cdw

Remove the full waste toner box per manual. Wear breathing protection as there will be toner dust in the air. Place flat in a work area and remove the 6 screws retaining the black box cover and carefully remove cover with box still flat on the work area. Be careful, the box is full of waste toner powder. Dispose of the waste toner by tipping into waste container, being careful not to inhale the powder. Use a blower or vacuum to remove final traces of waste toner from the box and clean all surfaces with a clean cloth. Place the box flat on bench to inspect the clear sight-glass at the front. Inside will be a black flag which should be down on the bottom of the sight glass. If not, there is still waste toner in the front of the box which needs to be shaken or blown out. Replace the cover and 6 screws and replace the waste toner box in the printer. If error message still says replace waste toner box, then you need to check the sight glass again. The flag must be horizontal at the bottom of the glass or it is not completely empty.
