One
of the more common issues for some Brother printers is that the machine cannot
recognize remanufactured toner cartridges. The new drive shaft
configuration might have resistance to recognize aftermarket flag gears, in
which the gears tell the printer that an aftermarket toner has been installed
and printer will not recognize the toner.
Resetting
the page counter for Brother TN221 and TN225 toner models is the most efficient
way to get an aftermarket unit working immediately. Without having to go
through the hassle of multiple installing and turning the printer on and off, a
few simple steps will get your printer up and running. Below are the resetting
steps that can be a life safer especially when printing out documents and
reports cannot be delayed any longer:
