How to reset "replace toner" message and get more life out of your toner
I know someone else wrote a review saying they spent hours and could not find a way to reset the toner on this printer unlike ALL previous Brother printers but I'm here to tell you two things: First, trust me when I say my Kung-Fu is STRONG... and second, there IS a way to reset the toner and save yourself a BUNCH of money by getting more bang for your buck and here are the steps you need to take: 1. Open the front toner door on the printer that would allow you to replace the toner but don't pull the toner tray out (unless you just want to for fun...but it's not necessary) 2. Press the back and cancel buttons (top and bottom buttons of the three buttons on the right) at the EXACT same time quickly (and repeatedly if necessary) and then let off (it will almost certainly take at LEAST a couple of tries and if you get to anything other than the reset screen start over). Do NOT hold the buttons down as it will definitely NOT bring up the reset screen that way. You MUST be on the "open door" message, if you accidentally back out of it, just touch the message again in the top left corner to go back to the "Open Door" screen. 3. At this point, the reset screen should pop up and you just need to select the correct toner cartidge that you need to reset (K. = black, C = Cyan, etc.) and keep in mind that each one has THREE options for regular, high yield, and super high yield toner cartridges. 4. Click yes to reset. 5. Click back button and wait for printer to reset. It takes a minute or two just like when you turn the printer off and on. 6. Print...and you print like there's NO tomorrow!! You are *super* welcome for the money that I just saved you as inevitably the "replace toner" screen will come up when it hits a specific page count even though there's still PLENTY of toner in there and there is NO other way to get past it than either doing what I just described or replacing it with a new toner cartridge. Also, I HIGHLY recommend after researching the poop out of all three toner cartridge possibilities for each color that you go with the "Super High Yield" cartridges and save even more money buying all four as a pack. If you break it down by cost per page for each of the three sizes, then it makes the most sense and you won't be replacing toner *nearly* as often. Yes, in order to buy all four cartridges it will cost more than the printer (unless you find a good deal) but they will last three times longer than the standard cartridge even though they are physically the SAME size. It's all about how much toner is INSIDE the cartridge... If this helped you then please push, smash, or lightly press the "Helpful" button for the fun of it b/c really...it's the right thing to do...or not. It's ALL good either way. :-)
