Having gratefully read
elsewhere about how to defeat the toner sensor window with black electrical tape, I went
to work.
Sadly, I was crushed to
discover that performing this operation did not solve the problem for my
accursed unit.
[Do it anyway as it will
save you from these annoyingly premature warnings in future!]
Reading further, I
became convinced that a reset process similar to that used to solve this
problem for the Brother 2040 and 7420 models was also required here.
With nothing more to go
on than responses to my emails from the good people (knuckleheads) at Brother
telling me only how to install a new cartridge, I began poking around on my own
'till, after much swearing and gnashing of teeth, I figured it out:
1. With power on, open
the toner access main door (You will get a "door open" message in the
LCD.)
2. Hit the
"Clear/Back" button and... ta-dah!!! you go right to the “Toner Reset
Menu” (cue Vienna Boy's choir sounds here).
3. Using the up á Down â "Search"
arrow buttons you can then scroll through reset options for each of the
printer's [4] toner cartridges!
Code: B. = black; C. = cyan; M. = magenta and Y. = yellow
4. For each for these
cartridges is the option to reset for low yield = S (small?) or High Yield - H
5. Using the number
keypad, select option #1 (to reset each to the size you have installed.
6. Hit the
"Clear/Back" button to get out of the menu, close door ad the problem
is FINALLY solved.
Additional tip: you
might want to try turning on the Toner Save
Mode to stretch out your cartridge replacements.
Open Printers > go to
the MFC 9440 icon >>> Printing Preferences...> Advanced Settings
> Printer Functions > Toner Save Mode >> turn on.
Looks fine to me, though
not suggested for grayscale or photo printing,.
Cheers!
