You can save money and get more toner out of your cartridge using several methods. The THIRD method is shown in this video, which is to refill the affected toner cartridge.
This toner refill method works for the following Brother printer models:
HL-L3210cw / HL-L3270cdw / DCP-L3510cdw / DCP-L3550cdw / MFC-L3710cw / MFC-L3730cdn / MFC-L3750cdw / MFC-L3770cdw.
Fade out test swatch: www.milogical.com/ColourSwatches
A completely empty cartridge weighs within a couple of grams of 367g. A full cartridge weighs within a couple of grams of 407g. Conversely, if you've got a cartridge behaving strangely, but its weight is nowhere near 367g, it's not lack of toner that's causing the problem and in that case refilling it won't help.
I bought the copper melter and plugs at www.urefilltoner.co.uk/, but you can also buy these elsewhere on the internet. I bought the toner on AliExpress.
Now to the refilling part. If your cartridge is empty
• Heat the bigger end of the copper melter and use the 2 corners of the knurled-effect plastic as rough guides to melt a hole with the heated copper melter.
• Shake an unopened bottle containing 40 grams of toner vigorously for 5 seconds.
• Jam the spout into the hole and lean everything back to a lower angle.
• Wait 5 seconds for the toner to flow in.
• Bring everything back up and disengage the spout from the cartridge.
• Repeat this process until the toner bottle is empty.
• Clean up any spilled toner from around the hole with an alcohol swab.
• Put a plug in to cover the hole.
• Put the refilled cartridge back into the printer and allow it to initialise.

Fantastic! The 1st method of resetting the cartridge with the LCD interface worked with 3 of the cartridges. For the 4th cartridge I followed the 2nd method of resetting the wheel of the “bought” cartridge. That did the trick. Many thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. After I refilled the printer still thinks that the cartridge is empty. You need to reset the cartridge data ;) Open the front cover of the printer (to access cartridges). With the cover open, simultaneously press the Clear and Stop/Exit buttons. It may take several tries for this to work and for "K.TNR-STD" to appear onscreen. Scroll through the menu to select a color and yield to reset. The LCD will read "Accepted" once the reset is complete.
Hi Is there an update for this fix as it no longer works - Thanks so much
Any inflo about the next model DCP-L3560cdw I’m thinking to buy that model and what’s the difference between both models
Ik kocht gisteren de zelfde, maar dan met 3555 als nummer. Het zal niet veel schelen. Bedankt voor deze video, want ik ga hem vandaag uit de doos zien te halen en aansluiten.
Hey! Absolutely amazing series here! Really great job. I especially can't believe how much of a scam it is when they inform you to replace a cartridge even though there is still toner in there! Anyway great job and am also kind of amazed you don't have more subs considering your views and just how helpful these videos were!
Thank you very much :D
Jan 2024 not working for me on this printer. I suspect Brother have done some kind of update to prevent this?
oh it did just work! took about 10 goes....
Are there different types of toner or can I use toner from a cannon printer to refill cartridge for a brother printer? Great video!
is your printer still working fine, i wanna buy one of these color printer
This was VERY helpful. Saved us a maintenance call. Thank you!
Does this print legal size also??
Impressive
Je hebt er weinig aan als je geen foto uit kan drukken op hoog Kwaliteid, als fotograaf
Welke printer raad je aan?
I used to use an Epson ET-2550 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.
Still a good choice in 2023?
Many thanks indeed for the information, I've just bought it and your unboxing video helped a lot.
Australia. Carbon output approx 490 mil tonnes. Just trees 24 billlion. Trees alone offset carbon. Fake climate change.
Wow. I'm not brave enough to burn a hole in a toner cartridge, I guess I'll pay the coward tax... ;-)
Thank u so much! I've reseted all my toners once a few years ago, and I was like "hey, why doesn't the method work any longuer?" I disabled the FW update search for posterity (I'm on FW 1.60), I opened the black toner first and found a spring and reset wheel. I did reset it, and then installed the same black plastic cap on the C, then on M, then on Y (all 3 didn't have the spring/wheel), so all 4toners are reset :)
❤❤
ridiculous
thank you i have same problem
Hope this solved you're problem
what about computer setup? hahaha
انا فعلت هذا الشيء مرات عديدة ولكن مرة تكون استجابة ومرة لا تكون استجابة.... ما هو السبب برأيك
Once it doesn't work, the wheel and spring need to be reset.
Hello how are you, I'm about to buy a multifunction printer. but I'm a graphic designer, and I wanted to know about the weight of the sheet. up to how much it supports. thank you
Wunderschön😊 erklärt. Gibt’s das auch auf Deutsch?🙂
I opened up my original brother cartidge and i couldnt find a wheel nor a spring :/
Then you probably have to buy a reset wheel and spring, or you can buy new cartridges. New cartridges come with a reset wheel and spring, so you can reset the new cartridges.
duh did you watch the video? It says in the video that the wheel and spring are only in the "bought" cartridges. NOT in the ones you get with the printer. It also says in the video that you can buy the spring and wheel separately. Watch before you comment.
Doesnt work anymore
Have you tried the second method to get more ink out of your cartridges?
@@milogical9446 i did and i even responded to you on that video. I have original cart ridges but there was no wheel inside. Super weird.. so method 2 is out of the question..
@@gabrielcalderon3 wrong! the "reset wheel video" tells that if you use original cardridges then you need to buy the wheel separately like Milogical did herself. She also only has the original ones and therefor needed to buy the wheel. She suggests to either buy the reset wheel separate or one time buy the replacement cartridge because it has the wheel inside. It seems you did not really pay attention to the reset wheel video
Fixed my streak! thanks!
Nice! You're welcome:)
Thank you so much!!! it's work
You're welcome :)
Grazie per aver pubblicato questo video .

*It prints like no other **Bestt.Digital** printer. i have always loved Epson for the colors they produce.*
Thank you :)
Wow, impressive. I loved the intro :-)

There is actually a real technical reason for the toner cartridge to not be completely empty when done. In toner technology, the best toner particles are chosen first by the developer roller, so if you reset the toner, the powder left in the cartridge is of worse quality. I am in no way affiliated with any printer manufacturer. I still believe that printer companies are doing a lot of things to make even more money on you, but this is at least partially a technical reason, not necessarily just a way to make more money.
Thank you for your comment :)
MUY BIEN:::MUCHAS GRACIAS!
You're welcome :)
Nice video. Some printer models will recognize a toner end condition soon after the reset (hardware wise) so you might to reset again or block the light barrier or swap the toner. You should choose the last option if you notice quality issues that will occure if there's not enough toner powder inside the cartridge to cover the entire toner roller surface (something you can inspect visually, too). I wouldn't recommend to "overdo" it (like ignoring quality problems) because if the toner roller isn't coated with toner you'll increase the wear of the OPC drum surface.
Thank you for your advice :) I'll take it into account when issues occur :)
Can we Scan A3 paper from ADF......?
Hey Malik, you can scan A6, A5 and A4 with the ADF.
Thank you! I wrote to you last week about 'streaks' and having now replaced the black toner (thank you U Refill Toner), my printer cartridges are now full and no more streaking!! You are amazing!
I am glad you are no more experiencing problems with your printer :)
Thank you for the video. Is it not possible to just adjust the existing wheel and spring? It doesn't seem possible to make contact with U Fill Toner. Thank you in advance.
Hi Michael, if there is already a reset wheel and spring in the cartridge, then you can simply reset those as shown in the video :)
@@milogical9446 Thank you so much. I did actually try this just now and yes, it worked. You're a genius!
You're welcome. I learned this from U refill toner ;)
The guy's at Utoner were most helpful and I have a refill kit on the way! Hopefully it will also solve the issue with 'streaking'. Thank you once again, it's great to know that I can refill AND keep a low carbon foot print!
@@DamoSuzuki66 again you are welcome :) If you experience vertical streaks, cleaning the Corona wires as shown in another video of mine might help ;)
Спасибо Вам за информацию! Тоже хотел что бы не сох, был цветной и всё вместе.
You're welcome :)
Awesome!
Ty :)
Prachtig !!! I mean wonderful :)
Ty :)
Hello, how is this printer holding up for you since you uploaded this 1 year ago. Any problems ? I'm considering getting this printer for my small business 😃
Hi Francis, up until now the only problem I ran into is the appearance of black vertical streaks on my prints. I also made a video about how to solve this :) I'm very satisfied with this printer. The only drawback in my opinion is the fact that the adf will only scan and copy single-sidedly. I've recently refilled the cartridges with toner (video coming soon), the printer works like a charm :D. Do keep in mind though, if you regularly print colourful images/photos, maybe an inkjet printer is a better choice
nice video unfortunately I cant seem to find anywhere where they sell the reset wheels
If you have bought cartridges, then there is a reset wheel inside each cartridge. You can also buy them separately. I bought them from 'U refill toner'. You only need 1 reset wheel and spring.
@@milogical9446 thanks found it and ordered much appreciated
@@ezi0n where did you order it? oh do tell! :P
@@gabrielcalderon3 u refill toner co uk as one of their packages
THANK YOU!! THAT WAS PERFECT AND IT WORKED😀
You're welcome :)
Extremely useful tip. Thank-you!
You're welcome :)
So its not an empty cartride, Brother just want you to buy over priced toner to boost their profits. Should be an illegal practice.
Exactly
Is it possible to manually scan wirelessly i.e, receive scan image on the PC without the use of a cable ?
Yes, that is possible :)
I'm looking to buy a colour laser where I will do mostly black/white (B&W) with occasional colour printing. If I want to do only B&W printing can I install only the black toner or other toners have to be present at the same time?
I do not know actually. I wouldn't be surprised if you need all toner cartridges to be present inside the machine for it to work
@@milogical9446 Thanks for the reply. If you do find out please share. I'm torn between colour and B&W laser. If I want to print colour I can easily use my office's inkjet but even there I have print quality issues because of the nozzle problem. I also have a multi function ink tank Epson which was unused for many months. Now its completely unusable despite full tank of ink because no matter how many times I clean the nozzle and clear the internal pipe I still have print quality issues.
@@osamahkiwan85 You can leave colour toners that came with printer inside it and just replace black toner whenever it gets empty. Voila ;)
