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.

Brother toner

The Brother HL-3140 laser printer is a color printer so it uses four different toners, one for each color. These toners only fulfill the function of managing the amount of toner required for powder each of the impressions and pass it to the rollers or drums of the image printer. This means that, in addition to the 4 units of toner used in this printer also uses four imaging units (drums). If you want to know more about this, you can take a look at post we published about how a drum works.

How to skip the message of "change toner" on printer Brother DCP-1510

In many of monochrome printers Brother jumps a warning "low toner" or "change toner" when they recognized that the toner is finished. However, as not all the same print, if you skip this error when prints jump totally sharp and well, you can skip this message and continue using the toner.

This is what is known as "Continue Mode" Brother toners.

Activate "CONTINUE MODE"

"Continue mode" it serves to resume printing again despite the message that appears on the LCD screen of your Brother printer. Activating this mode may cause the quality of the prints is not as good as at home but at least we can continue to use the toner to the actual end of its useful life.

When activated "mode to continue" the printer continues releasing messages "change toner" "toner low" or "spent toner". This mode is disabled once a new toner so you'll have to activate it every time you're with a new toner is installed.

Then you leave the steps to activate the "mode continue":

• Press the "Menu" key and select "General Settings" >> "Replace Toner".
• Continue mode Brother
• Now using the arrows up or down, select "Continue" and click "OK".
• Press the "Stop / Exit" and go! Button

Tips drum printer

Laser printer drum

Here we present some questions that we normally do those who have a printer drum.

As we explained in a previous post, the drum is known by several names: drum imaging unit, drum ... It is a very delicate piece of laser printers is perishing with use.

The drum is responsible for transferring the toner powder to the paper, so sometimes when the drum is dirty, defective or is running out, can get out dirty or dark background prints.

Let's answer some questions we can get to do when we have a laser printer.

If I clean the drum I can avoid change?

The drum has a certain life since the use is perishing. As much as you clean it with a cloth ... if the drum is exhausted, there is nothing to do :-(

Is it better to independent drum or integrated with the toner?

It is a question that many people do and ... there is no clear answer. It all depends on the use you are going to give to the printer.

If you go to print a few copies a year, it is best to buy a printer with separate drum, and the drum will wear less and will last much more than the toner, so that the parts will come out cheaper.

But if you'll give much cane to the printer, ie going to print daily a fairly high volume, it is better than the drum will already integrated with the toner, since it is you wear before and eventually, out cheaper toner drum integrated buy a toner + drum.

Can you give light to the drum?

We recommend that the less time the drum is exposed to the best light, to prevent can give us problems.
