This document provides comprehensive instructions for refilling and resetting Brother TN 2010 toner cartridges, compatible with Brother DCP-7055, DCP 7055W, DCP-7057, HL-2130, HL-2132, and HL-2135W printers. The instructions are designed to enable users to continue printing using refilled cartridges, promoting cost savings and environmental benefits by utilizing recycled paper and refilled cartridges.
The primary function of this guide is to instruct users on how to manually refill Brother TN 2010 toner cartridges and reset the printer's toner counter. This process allows for the reuse of existing cartridges, reducing waste and the need to purchase new ones. The guide addresses common issues such as "toner low" and "toner ended" messages, providing workarounds to maximize cartridge life.
The instructions are specifically tailored for Brother TN 2010 toner cartridges used in the following Brother printer models:
The guide highlights the presence of a "flag gear" in Brother cartridges, which is responsible for resetting the printer's toner counter. This flag gear is a critical component that needs to be manipulated during the reset process. Starter cartridges, which ship with new printers, typically do not include this reset gear, necessitating its separate purchase for refilling.
The document also mentions the potential for "waste toner" accumulation, noting that Brother cartridges can retain up to 25 grams of waste toner even when reporting empty. This emphasizes the importance of completely emptying the cartridge before refilling to prevent print defects caused by mixing new and old toner.
The guide provides detailed steps for both operating the printer in "Continue Mode" and physically refilling the cartridge.
The Brother printers are designed to notify users when toner is low or empty through LED indicators. The guide explains how to override these default settings to continue printing, maximizing toner usage.
The document illustrates the LED states:
The refilling process is broken down into 11 clear steps:
The guide emphasizes the importance of resetting the cartridge after refilling, which involves manipulating a small "flag gear" within the cartridge.
This process is critical for the printer to recognize the refilled cartridge as full.
After a successful reset, users should replace the cartridge in the printer and print some test pages to remove any excess toner and confirm functionality.
The document includes important safety guidelines regarding toner powder:
