why does toner light still stay on after replacement of new cartridge?
1240438
The printer should be turned off for 30 seconds or so, so the 'mind' of the printer will recognize the new cartridge. It if still stays on, look at the counter wheel of the cartridge and see if the pointer is pointing to the '1' imprinted on the wheel or to the '2'. It should be pointed to the '1'. The '2' indicates the cartridge should be low on toner.

To manually reset the toner light and the toner count, turn off the machine. Open the front door of the machine. While holding the "Go" button, turn on the machine and wait a half-minute. Then press the "Go" button twice. Wait another half-minute, then press the "Go" button seven times in quick succession. All the lights should go out but the "error" light. Then close the front door of the printer. The error light should go off and the printer should start normally without giving you a 'toner out' message.

All 4 light never come on and the toner is on after the procedure. What to do now?

I had a similar problem with this particular cartridge in my Brother HL-2240 myself. This is the solution that worked for me: http://iamdotnetcrazy.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-reset-your-brother-hl-2240-after.html

No it does not. This works just as a factory toner would. Additionally I read about how the empty toner notices are based on page counts. You can place tape over a portion of the toner on the end and it will shut off the light. This may allow 100's more pages even and prevents wasted toner. Google that for specifics.

I had a similar problem. Apparently, the printer circuitry is able to sense that this is a "not new" toner cartridge. I ordered 4 of these and had this same issue with 3 of them. Sometimes, I was able to get rid of the error by unplugging the printer, but soon the error came up again making printing impossible. I even tried some instructions I found on the www for resetting a Brother toner cartridge, this too, helped for a while. I don't have the time to waste. The real Brother cartridges are available on Amazon at a great price and at least one of the box office stores is now price matching Amazon. My condolences! I had a similar problem.

Since mine is off between printings, I have not seen the problem. When it is asleep, it stays there.

I has the same issue. I unplugged it & after it was replugged in it stopped. But every once in a while the yellow light starts blinking again. So far it has not effected the printer's ability to work well. Hope that helps.

Not that I know of, I haven't seen one, BUT one cool thing is when it starts to print light and you know you need a new toner cartridge, you can take out the current cartridge, shake it a few times, put it back in, and it works for quite a while longer, you can repeat this process for a long time, giving plenty of time to order a toner cartridge.

One more suggestion. Did you store the toner in a room temperature area? Not too hot or cold? I keep mine on my office bookcase. Just a thought. Dolores

Had the same exact thing happen to me. Unplugging it for a day worked twice, but only temporarily. I usually buy several toner cartridges extra so I don't run out. Would love to get ths working again so I can use them. Any luck reinstalling software?

You can change a setting in the menu to get it to continue to print on an empty cartridge. The manual says you can damage the printer this way but I did it while waiting for new toner to arrive with no problem (and the printouts were fine).

Depending on the cartridge it varies. Some cartridges have a refill point and plug in it. You remove the plug then empty the remaining toner before loading the new toner. Other cartridges require that a hole be drilled. In this case, the hole must be drilled in the proper location and in a manner so as not to get plastic debris in the toner chamber. Again the old toner is removed before putting new toner into the chamber. The hole is then covered with the foil provided.

printing light is usually a signal that the toner is low and has to be changes

You have to reset the toner sensor. You have to turn the printer off. While holding down the Go button turn the printer back on. All the buttons should light up. Then release the Go button and wait for the lights to all turn off. Then press the Go button twice then pause and then press the Go button five times and the low toner message should disappear. Hope this helps.

I bought my HL-2230 in 2012, and I'm still using the same original toner cartridge. Obviously, I don't print very much, but the point is that it has lasted about 2 years, so a sealed package should last for quite a while.

You probably need to search for the "Toner Low" re-set sequence. I use the MFC7360. When I get a "Toner Low" message on the LCD it will not print until I put in a new cartridge. But the now non-OEM cartridge will not re-set the printer. This is Brother's way of trying to force you to buy OEM toner. I found the fix on Google but I think it is different for each printer.

The toner is in the cartridge. I have been using it for months and it has been working fine.

When that is happened to me I take the cartridge out and then put it back in again...turn off the power and then back on...Have you contacted the company? You might also want to do a google search. If you can get them to work with your printer, you will save lots of $$! Hope this helps.

There really aren't that many things to check on these machines. Make sure "the wire" is clean; don't use "compatible" non-Brother toner cartridges; check the "drum life" indicator under "machine info" on the soft key menu(s). The drum and toner cartridges work together. If you've exceeded the drum's rated lifespan, it won't matter how new/full your toner cartridge is. It's time to replace the drum.

My printer has lights above the empty cartridge, if it's new there should be an order listed in your directions. And it should also tell you on the printer, or at least mine does. Are you sure your printer takes a grey cartridge? Not all do.

I don't think so. I've ordered a new cartridge and kept it in the box, unopened, for 3 maybe 4 weeks before using it...never had a problem with the toner.
