Please do the following:

  • Press the Go button to print the remaining data in the printer memory.
    Cancel the print job if you want to delete the remaining data in the printer memory. To cancel printing, press the Go button while printing for about 4 seconds until all the LEDs light up. The Ready and Error LEDs will flash as the job is being canceled.

  • Reduce the complexity of your document or cut the print resolution.

This error occurs when your printer is dealing with a particually complicated print job and cannot process it all. Try to reduce the complexity of your document or cut the print resolution. It may be worth trying to print the document in several parts if at all possible.

I hope this helps.

The error message is misleading. The printer wants a new toner cartridge.

SOURCE: HL 2140 does not print

Hi,

This is a common problem to your brother printer model 2140. You need to turn off your printer and take out the toner. Look for the side and you will see a small hole on both sides. This is the sensor. You need to cover it with electrical tape.

Here is a detailed video on how to do it:

Good luck and hope this helps you.

Re boot the computer with ,( wired or wireless printer?), the printer cable in the USB port in the laptop/desktop, the windows version you have will ID the device and try to load a driver, or Go to printer in the start menu and ADD a PRINTER the software will search for the attached printer. OR use the software that came with the printer, load into the Dell and follow the instructions.

WILL NOT PRINT, there is paper and toner, the power is on, there are no error lights on or anything! what do i do totroubleshoot?

Most of the time the printer refuse to print if the print memory is full, if this is the case then, press the Go button to print the remaining data in the printer memory. Cancel the print job if you want to delete the remaining data in the printer memory.
If the above solution doesn't work then the best alternate is to restart the printer and computer. Restarting help to overcome any minor problems. If restarting doesn't help, I suggest you to call In USA: 1-877-BROTHER (1-877-276-8437) In Canada: 1-877-BROTHER

I recently installed the Brother HL-2140 to my computer, everything came through, but I am not able to print. Rose

Set your new HL-2140 as the default printer. Go to Control Panel, Click Printers and Scanners tab, and set your Brother HL-2140 as your default printer. You may have other printer as the default printer currently. Check your connections again. Connect it to another USB port as the current port might not be responding due to connection contact problem.
