Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the printer displays this error but pages still print clearly, the cartridge may still contain residual toner. The message is a threshold warning rather than a physical sensor detection.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Ensure the printer is powered on.
  2. Open the front door of the device.
  3. Hold 'Back' and 'Cancel' buttons for 2 seconds.
  4. Select the specific toner and capacity (e.g., K-HC).
  5. Confirm reset and close the door.

Maintenance

Use genuine Brother toner to ensure optimal longevity. Clean internal rollers every 5,000 prints to prevent paper dust buildup.
