Is your printer on strike, saying toner/ink is low? “Magenta toner is low” – and can’t print black and white? I was very frustrated and couldn’t print due to one color being low, even though I wanted to print in black and white. The printer just refused to work. It was not easy to search and find an answer either. This post is to help us remember how to do reset the printer, and we hope it helps others as well. We were using cartridges TN-310 for the MFC-9970CDW – but don’t be quick to pitch your half-used toner for a new one, regardless of the printer. Try a Google search to look for your printer model and find its reset directions.

Brother MFC-9970CDW toner reset instructions

To reset the printer so it recognizes cartridges: 1. Open the cover, and quickly press the number 1. I messed this up by not doing it quickly after opening and kept getting Fax. If you do close the door and try again. 2. Now the touch screen gives you choices to reset the toner. Black is K.TNR STD Magenta is M.TNR STD Cyan is C.TNR STD Yellow is Y.TNR STD 3. To get a detailed report on usage, this was helpful to know. On the main touchpad screen, hit the menu button, and on the keypad, hit “* 2 8 6 4″ and after a second, a new menu should pop up… press “7 7″ and then a 1-page report should print with your detailed use and stats for coverage, page count, etc.  More details than the normal reports. 4. Press “9 9″ to exit this menu and back to the main screen. I don’t know what else that menu accesses or what other reports it can generate. Heres to saving on toner costs!
