How to reset toner and drum counter on Brother HL-2130 and HL-2240
Brother laser printers normally indicate toner and drum levels and they show a message when these parts need to be replaced. However, the levels shown are based on statistical measurements, since these printers do not have any mechanism that enables them to determine the actual state of the toner and the drum, so it is not possible to know for sure whether they have actually reached the end of their lifespan.
These printers are equipped with a page counter that sets the amount of pages that can be printed, but it does not always operate properly. Sometimes the device may not request paper loading although no more paper is coming out or, conversely, it may ask for the toner to be replaced although the printing quality is still good.
When we replace the toner or the drum, the printer should be able to detect the replacement and restart the page counter from zero. With compatible toners and drums, however, the printer may not be able to recognise them and may continue to request the replacement.
To fix this problem you only have to reset the counter manually. This is an easy procedure that varies depending on the model and the brand of the printer.
