What does TONER LOW mean on my Brother Laser printer?
If your Brother Laser printer displays 'TONER LOW', buy a new toner cartridge and have it ready for when the REPLACE TONER status is indicated.
Why does my Brother Laser printer not feed paper?
If your Brother Laser printer does not feed paper, ensure that the paper in the paper tray is straight. If the paper is curled, straighten it before printing. Sometimes, removing the paper, turning the stack over, and then putting it back in the paper tray can help. If the paper continues to curl, replace the paper. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again. Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver. Clean the paper pick-up roller.
What to do if my Brother HL-2135W Printer is not feeding paper?
If your Brother printer isn't feeding paper, there are several possible causes and solutions: * The lift arm and pick-up roller holder assembly may not be assembled correctly. In this case, re-assemble the lift arm and pick-up roller holder assembly. * Check the harness connections of the T1 clutch ASSY and the paper edge sensor harness ASSY, and reconnect them if necessary. * The paper feeding roller or the plate-up gear might be faulty, in this case replace the paper feeding kit or the plate-up gear. * The T1 clutch ASSY, panel PCB ASSY, or main PCB might have failed, requiring replacement. * For HL-2250DN/2270DW/2275DW models, check the paper edge sensor performance. If there are any issues, replace the PF frame ASSY.
What to do if there is a paper jam at the paper tray and front cover section of my Brother HL-2135W?
If you're experiencing paper jams at the paper tray and front cover section of your Brother printer, consider the following: * Ensure that the paper edge actuator (on HL-2250DN/2270DW/2275DW models) or the registration front actuator isn't catching. Correct their positioning if needed. * Check and reconnect the harness connection of the registration front/rear sensor PCB ASSY if it's loose. * If the paper feeding roller is worn out, replace the paper feeding kit. * The low voltage power supply PCB ASSY or the main PCB might be faulty, requiring replacement. * Check the registration front and rear sensor performance. If any problem occurs, replace the regist frame ASSY.
What to do if my Brother HL-2135W does not feed paper from the manual feed slot?
If your Brother printer isn't feeding paper from the manual feed slot, try these solutions: * Check the harness connection of the registration front/rear sensor PCB ASSY and reconnect it if necessary. * The low voltage power supply PCB ASSY or the main PCB might be faulty and need replacement. * If the registration front/rear sensor is failing, check the sensor performance. If any problem occurs, replace the regist frame ASSY.
How to fix the pickup function of the paper tray on a Brother HL-2135W?
If the pickup function of the paper tray on your Brother printer isn't working, consider these potential solutions: * If the link arm or pick-up roller holder assembly is catching, re-assemble them. * Check and reconnect the harness of the main motor if there's a connection failure. * If the plate-up gear (gear Z19M10 or lift gear 46) has failed, replace it. * The main motor, low voltage power supply PCB assembly, or main PCB assembly might need replacement.
What to do if my Brother HL-2135W cannot detect toner?
If your Brother printer can't detect the toner, it might be due to these reasons: * If the power was turned off or the front cover was opened while detecting a new toner cartridge, reset the developing bias voltage and develop roller counter. * If the new toner actuator is loose, re-assemble it. * If the new toner sensor has failed, replace the panel PCB assembly.
How to delete the "Replace Toner" message on a Brother HL-2135W after replacing the toner?
If you're still seeing the "Replace Toner" message on your Brother printer after replacing the toner, consider the following: * The new toner actuator might be catching; correct its position. * Check and reconnect the harness of the Panel PCB if there's a connection failure. * The Panel PCB assembly or Main PCB assembly might need replacement.
Why is my Brother Laser printer saying REPLACE DRUM?
If your Brother Laser printer is indicating 'REPLACE DRUM', replace the drum unit with a new one.
