Reset Lever Gear to Fix "Replace Toner" on Brother Laser Printer (TN-450 Cartridge)

  • Brother laser printer stops working with Replace Toner message, even with toner left in the TN-450 cartridge, and how to fix it by turning back the reset lever gear on the cartridge. When you insert a brand new toner cartridge, the printer turns the cartridge reset lever to the Not New position, and resets its internal toner meter to Full. Everything works OK as long as you don't disturb the installed cartridge.
    However, if you swap new and partially used cartridges, the internal toner meter becomes unsynchronized with the actual amount of toner left in the cartridge. To fix this problem, you can turn back the "reset lever" of the toner cartridge. This makes printer think that the cartridge is new. The video shows you how to do it. You need a Phillips type screwdriver to gain access to the reset lever.
    Follow the directions carefully to avoid spilling the other gears when you remove the black plastic gear cover. With the cover off, the gears are loose and will fall off if you tip over the cartridge or pull off the cover carelessly. You can put back the loose gears in the proper order and orientation using another cartridge as a model. (Don't spill both!)
    Remember to order a new toner cartridge promptly because your old one will run out without warning.
    To reset the Replace Toner message using key presses on the printer, see • Fix "Replace Toner" on...
    Note that this video applies to the Brother TN-450 toner cartridge and the similar TN-420 cartridge. The Brother TN-350 cartridge uses a different mechanism. The TN-350 has a clear window that allows the printer to peek inside the toner reservoir. When the toner gets low, the printer can see all the way through, and it issues the Replace Toner message. To continue using the TN-350 cartridge, cover the clear window with a piece of black tape.

    This was by far the best, simplest video I found to fix this issue. Thank you.

    This was a lifesaver with my MFC-7860. Many thanks.

    Thanks. This worked for my MFC-7360N machine. I have four perfectly good toner cartridges, yet Brother expects me to spend more money on new ones. Screw that.

    I tried this and the spring popped off. Thankfully you moved your hand just briefly enough so that we can see the position of the spring. After I reinstalled the cartridge after resetting the toner wheel, the printer gave the error "cartridge installation error", then after removing it and popping it back in, it seems to work. I think there is a problem with the mechanism inside the printer not being able to rotate the toner reset dial. Sometimes after doing the Clear, Start, up, down, OK sequence, it works, sometimes it takes many tries and it still doesn't work. Once I get it to work, I do not have problems unless I turn off the printer, so I leave it on all the time.
    These printers are very expensive to replace these days, since they have Wifi/bluetooth, they are costing upwards of $250 or more. I bought my DCP-7065dn years ago and I have probably replaced toner when I didn't need to due to this error.

    I found a place to buy resetting gears for starter brother toners. Do You think that buying them will just make firmware version irrevelant and will reset the chip? Is it the same scenerio if I move the genuine chip to new aftermarket toner that has a resetting lever and install it? Thanks

    Could you explain why is there need to reset this gear on toner? I thought resetting toner is done by button combination on the control panel. What difference is by resetting this gear? Thank you

      In case the keypad sequence doesn't work, the gear method always works, for any printer that uses the print cartridge.

    I'm getting unable to print 0b message
    I've only had the printer 9 months Brothers has the most horrible customer service ever
    I'm wondering do you think I just need a new cartridge? They're saying it could be a software issue but it's practically brand-new and I haven't replaced the cartridge yet

    Nope. Not on an HL-2270DW.

    Does not work for a HL2270DW, using a TN450 cartridge. Completely different setup. If you take off the two screws, a spring pops out and you will have to pitch that cartridge.

    • @graychang99

      It should work for any TN-450 cartridge. After you remove the 2 screws, be sure to lift off the plastic cover slowly and gently so that the gears don't fall off.
