Good day!! did you ever try to replace the toner of the unit? if not please try to replace the toner maybe the problem is in the toner. please reply to help you more.

It is most likly not linked to word. Word is likly sending the prints to the wrong, obsloete or wrong copy of the printer.
When printing check to see where the doc is being sent to print.
Then go to printers to see which printer is your 2140 active and ofcourse do a test print. If the test print is good this is the correct link to your printer.

hi i have brother hl2140 laser printer but all light are blinking give solution how to solve this

Use the setting that says "Fit to page" in the printer options menu.

Clips into the bottom of the drum unit.

Remove the drum unit and toner from the printer. Separate the toner from the drum. Look at the surface of the drum, rotating using the drive sprocket at one end. Look for a mark or foreign material on the surface of the drum in the same position as it is on the printed page. If you find anything, use a clean, dry kleenex tissue folded into a pad to carefully remove the mark and clean the drum. The 3 inches corresponds to the distance around the drum as it rolls down the page. If the mark cannot be removed, the drum should be replaced, it is a consumable that wears out in any case.

you need to turn it on, Go, . START>>RUN>>services.msc enter. When the services screen comes up, scroll down until you find the "Print Spooler" Enable it, Start it, and set to Automatic, reboot, ya good to go.

This really works. Thanks

Hi Nacardi,
Could be bad toner (toner sitting on shelf for too long). Or the drum could have been over exposed. The drum is light sensitive.

Be sure the front door is closed and that the fuser door is closed. Also be sure none of the sensor flags are stuck down. Also try pressing the Go button to see if the error clears.

It could be a problem with the drum, or more likely the toner cartridge and drum unit are not sitting firmly. If the assembly moves the image transfer will be interupted. Take out the drum and toner, and examine for any loose or damaged moldings. Also examine the surface of the toner cartridge for lines that would indicate the unit is "fluttering". It also occurs that you may be referring to the bottom of the page being cut off - in which case check your paper size setting is correct (i.e. A4 or letter).

Hi, I have the same printer as you. My background is in the development, design and manufacturing of printers. while i didn't have the opportunity of designing the toner system, I do know that doing anything with the corna wire requires that you never touch the wire with your bare hands.Replace the corna wire requires special tools to set the tightness keeping clean in the process. Unfortunately by the time you spend to replace the wire, it would be easier to buy a replacement drum. there are some reasonable cost rebuilt drums sub systems. look on ebay to find them.

This will be the Corona Wire on the drum has broken. Replace the Corona Wire if you are technically minded or replace the drum unit if you are not.

Where is the page stuck. If it is stuck feeding into the machine you can remove the paper tray and pull the page down. If it is stuck after feeding partway through the drum unit you have to pull the drum and toner unit out and pull the page out of that. if it is stuck partway out of the machine open the back of the machine and pull the page free from the fuser and paper output tray. If for any reason the page tears make sure you have all the pieces out of the machine. Do this by reassembling the page on the desk to see that it has all the parts to complete the page.

The error light indicates something is wrong with the machine. The error light in combination with another light indicated that the problem lies with that item. If there is an issue with a job not being able to be printed you can press the go button to allow it to continue (Normally happens if you send a job to the printer using paper other than what the printer has in it)

If you just changed the toner and it will not print, then the clue is the cartridge being defective. Make sure all the shipping tape and ribbons are removed and retry.

This is not any issue with my machine. Take it back to the supplier and get it looked at. Under warranty I hope. Henry
