LOW TONER LIGHT
By M. Prior
Remember...Just putting in a new toner cartridge is not going to "tell" the printer that I have replaced it. I have a Brother HL 2240 laser printer; after inserting a new toner cartridge, I (you) have to reset the printer by pressing the "GO" button 7 times.

FYI: when your current cartridge is running low, your printer may stop working. You can take out the cartridge, shake it from left to right a couple of times, reinsert it into the printer, and hit the "GO" button 7 times. You will be able to get hundreds more full quality pages before the toner REALLY runs out.

Kinda lame, but I guess this is how printer companies really make a profit.

Brother tries to force you to replace toner too soon.
By Thomas A. Garrett
Bought this cartridge for a new Brother HL-2270DW. In less than 2 or 3 hundred pages the toner light started flashing and the printer refused to print. I did not believe that the cartridge could possibly be out of toner, so I searched the web and found the following instructions to reset the out of toner condition:
===================
- Open the front cover and leave open while completing the following steps.
- Turn the printer off.
- Hold the 'go' button (or "start' button) while turning the printer on. All panel lights should be on.
- Release the 'go' button (or "start' button).
- Press the 'go' button (or "start' button) 2 times.
- Pause. All panel lights should be on.
- Press the 'go' button (or "start' button) 5 times.
The toner light should be off. (error may be flashing)
The paper light should be on or flashing.
- Close cover. The ready light should be the only light on.
====================
The printer functioned fine after the reset. I have no idea how long the "fix" will last.
A pox on companies that build devices like this.

High Quality But LOW-LOW Quantity Prints
By Jasper W. Adcock
This cartridge is rated to print about 1200 pages using 600dpi. It ONLY printed 860 pages using Toner Save Mode and 300dpi for regular pages (no Images). That's not even close. This is much less than what I bargained for.
