Buy replacement toner with reset springs on Amazon. You should also buy replacement "hopper caps" as you can mess these up easily as you pry them off. I would like to add that instead of using a vacuum cleaner, just dump the toner into a plastic bag. Using a vacuum makes a mess of your vacuum and creates a lot of static electricity which shocks you every time you touch the vacuum. If you don't touch it, the static builds up and will give you a really big shock. Dump the majority in a bag and then vacuum the little bit left in the cartridge. I found it to be faster and less messy. One more tip I have is to reset the printer for the MFC-9970-CDW. - Turn off the printer - Turn on the printer - Once you see the normal setup screen *BUT BEFORE IT SKIPS AHEAD TO THE "EMPTY" WARNING* open the front door to expose the cartridges. Waited too long? Turn off the printer and go back to Step #1. - Now you get the "Door Open" warning. - Press and hold down the number 1 on the keypad; this takes you to the reset screen. - Select the color and cartridge type you want to reset (typically STD as your printer likely did not come with the larger HC "High Capacity" cartridges).
Thanks for the tip. After some times I'd refilled the toner it didn't wanna work, I tried your tip and it worked just fine. Thanks, you've saved me friend =)
I love brother. My brother doesn’t even need a reset spring, it has a reset cartridge right in the menu. Even asks what type of cartridge you’re resetting. (starter, normal or high capacity). I’ll never go another brand again!
Hmm, will have to try this. I accidentally purchased the wrong size toner cartridge, and didn't realize until I opened all the packaging and tried to insert it. May have to see if I can empty the wrong size cartridge and refill the old one!
This si great I,ve seen this video and followed the instructions step by step and it worked for a couole of times, but this time i did exactly the same but my printer machine doesn´t admit the cartridge ´ve checked the spring position of the reset spring and its in the position I´ve put every time but doesn´t work, do you have any idea of what could be the problem or/and solution?
Are there different versions of this cartridge. I could have sworn that mine had a chip in it. How many times can you refill before the roller on the cartridge wears out?
Video was great. The directions that came with the toner sucked. I didn't explain much of anything and the pictures were unclear. After watching your video a couple of times I was able to refill the toner. I don't understand why you have to put a counter wheel on the cartridge though, as you can reset the toner cartridge electronically.
The use of such chips in cartidgres is forbidden in the European Union. Looks like the legislators understood that no public good could come from wasting non easily recyclable materials.
Number 1, Never use the orange toner cloth on printer parts. It has an oil in the fabric for cleaning the plastics and WILL cause printing defects if used on the charging parts.
