Problem: The printer does not recognize the toner

Brother MFCA can sometimes happen that when installing the printer toner will launch messages such as "Replace Toner" or "Out of toner" or simply "toner error". Do not worry, it is relatively common to occur in Brother printers when you install a toner that is not the manufacturer's brand.

In this case, the solution is quite simple. First we recommend you try to make toner restart before proceeding with the steps listed below you.

If the steps you still has problems, try to do the following after performing:

1. Open the front cover of the printer (where the toner is introduced)
2. On the printer display you will get a message like "Front cover open" or "Cover Open".
3. Press the "CLEAR" or "DELETE" button.
4. A beep sounds in the printer and the display appears the message "Replace Drum?"
5. Click on the following combination * 00 numeric keypad and press the "ENTER" button.
6. Close the front cover, the printer will restart.
7. If after you reset the printer toner still has problems, try uninstalling the printer and reinstall it again. Optimally, in these cases, is that again install the software CD that comes with the printer, if not, you can download the driver from the official website of Brother.

Why does this happen?

As discussed above, it is relatively common to happen with Brother laser printers. Some printer models have an internal page counter printers that are renewed as the consumable is changed. Sometimes this is not done automatically reboot and the printer does not recognize the toner as brand new or you fail. That is why, so it is necessary to inform the printer that you have installed a new consumable and you have to start counting from zero.

These steps pose no risk to the printer, so if we recommend is that you read completely before starting to perform them.

What if it does not recognize the toner?

If you're still having problems despite this, it is best that you contact the store that supplied the toner because you may simply this is defective and replace it with a new one you can print normally.

How to print in black and white with color printers

Monochrome printing with HP, Brother, Epson, Canon and Samsung printers.

We often want to print documents that really are not very important or we can do without color. To do this with a print in grayscale or black and white will suffice us and also we save ink. You can configure the print in black and white is quite similar in the different brands of printers.

Take the example that we have a Word document and want to print in black and white.

To send print the document press the following keys on your keyboard "Ctrl + P" or "Ctrl. + P".

We will open a small window with the specifications for printing. There press "Properties". In the properties, depending on the printers we find some options or other.

For example, Samsung laser printers have to go to the tab "Design" and then on "Color Mode" Select "Grayscale".

In inkjet printers HP Deskjet can normally set from the printer program itself, "Advanced", then select Print in "Grayscale" and lowering the drop-down menu click on "Black Ink Only".

With the Canon inkjet printers, for example the series of the Canon Pixma MG, we can open the printer driver and on the tab that says "Main" select "Grayscale".

If we have a Brother printer, such as a Brother MFC-J430W, when we give to print and then we click on "Preferences" We will open another dialog with the printer properties: quality, size, orientation ... There we see that we can choose "Grayscale" and even print in "ink saving mode".

What we got printed in black and white?

Mainly, what we want is not to waste color ink when it is not really necessary. If it is true that some printer models pull some ink cartridges to print color or grayscale black and white but obviously not as much as if imprimieses full color.

You may also wish that effect on some documents and want to choose this option. Our recommendation is that, if not absolutely necessary, imprimáis in black and white in "draft mode" because eventually you will notice a big savings in ink!

Indicator Light "Error" orange Brother printer

Home >> Help >> Indicator Light "Error" orange Brother printer

Error light lit or flashing

The orange light on the printer is on or flashing (solution)

On some printers Brother can find several indicative of light that inform us about the status of the printer. Usually they have a light on and off, to see if the printer is on; and another of an error, which may indicate an internal problem that must be overcome.

Depending on the problem you have the printer and printer model, light can indicate one thing or another.

Printers indicators "DRUM" and "Error"

In case you have a printer with an LED indicator that says "DRUM" and another indicator that says "Error". The meanings of the lights are different:

Light "Drum" and flashing light "Ready" in green.

If the drum lights or turn on the printer and then suddenly starts blinking orange light "Drum" this means that the drum is running out and therefore have to change soon.

If you have installed a new drum, this may have occurred will not reset the counter of the drum unit. Check out the post on how to reset the counter drum Brother printers.

Light "Drum" permanently lit and light "Ready" in green.

If the drum light is on permanently, that is that the drum has reached its end of life and you have to change it to continue printing.

It may have happened that, when installing a new drum, have not reset the drum counter, so you'll have to reset the printer to detect it as new drum.

Light "Drum" light on and "Error" in orange.

If both lights are on, it indicates a lock drum. In these cases, we recommend reinstalling the drum again and restart the counter of the printer to clear the error.

Printers with a single indicator light (!)

This is the simplest case of printers having only two indicator lights.

Error light "(!)" Flashes 3 times and off for one second

The lights pattern indicates the end of life of the drum soon or you have to replace it because it is already exhausted.

In case you have recently changed the drum and flashing light appears you'll have to tell the printer that you have changed the drum for a new one so you have to reset the counter.



There are more meanings of the indicator lights Brother printers. If you have not found the fault that is giving you, check out the post on the meaning of the lights Brother printers.
