How to reset the toner and drum counters on a Brother DCP-L2700, DCP-7055 or MFC-7360 printer?
Laser printers are one of the most sold in the market, but sometimes many doubts can arise when trying to understand how they work. Brother printers shows both toner and drum levels, but it must be considered that this is a statistical measure. It means that it is not possible to know exactly if the toner or the drum is exhausted (the printer has no device to check this fact).
For the correct operation, the printer has a sheet counter allowing us to know how many pages can be printed, but it does not work always properly. It may occur that our device does not request changing the toner nor the drum, but you notice that the sheets does not appear. Or that the printer requires changing the toner, even when the printing is correct.
Once we reach this point, the best solution consists of manually indicating that the drum and the toner replacement has been made. This is a simple process that varies depending on the printer model.
