This is one of the few videos showing the disassembly of the developer roller for cleaning and other parts cleaning in addition to toner removal & replacement. How many more refills can be accomplished using this method vs just empyting & refiling?
+Tim Smith Using this method you can use the cartridge 3-4 times. without cleaning the components 2 times, in Brother technology the waste toner ends in the toner cartridge so you'll have low quality print
Ok, it seems you were right, the toner powder somehow was contaminated and causing faded prints.The steps I took to fix was to check the developer by swapping with known good cartrdige- good.Emptied the old cartridge and blew out old toner at open air making sure it is bone dry & clean.Put some left over toner (25g) and assembled (faded prints still).Opened NEW toner powder and added another 30g. This seemed to solve the problem. * One issue I had was I broke off half the seal plug and now it is inside the cartridge, not sure if it's a good idea to continue using it that way or not. Anyway, I'm using a NEW replacement toner for now. Definitely a learning curve vs working with inkjets. Anyway, this time I've sealed the remaining toner in a plastic bag with some silica packs in the bag to absorb moisture-- I don't think the guys who sold this toner were expecting users to keep some powder left over as the bottle cap is NOT perfectly AIR TIGHT. Thanks for your help!
I had a small piece of the seal plug break and fall into the cartridge. It worked fine until the piece got stuck in the roller, and damaged the cartridge, it is no longer usable.
Great advice, thanks. It should be noticed that the "cover" has to be ALL THE WAY open for the "asterisk press" for 5 seconds to be accepted, and the reset screen to appear. At least, that was my experience.. ":
When it talks about the number of grams to put in, is that the amount put in by the factory? Can I put more in if I have it? Can you near fill the cartridges, or does that make issues?
the cartridge will send a toner low message after a number of copies, not important how many toner there is into the cartridge. the waste toner ends into the toner cartridge, so the quality of the toner inside the cartridge wlll become low
Hello, thank you for this. The only thing that did not work as described is the resetting through the printer. When I press "Secure" and "Cancel" at the same time, I do not get the reset menu, and am not able to reset it. Looking into resetting manually now.
@@viandant5 i cannot find any replacement for this. I tried the cardboard cleaning I didnt know that there's foam roller there. I went too deep and scratched the foam.
@@viandant5 i see. i have friend who puts the entire bottle of powder around 100grams in a cartidge.is he wrong?does it mean there is a chance that more powder is left wasted inside the cartridge once the toner low error message appears?he refills starter cartridges.
One of the most thorough videos I've ever seen on refilling a toner cartridge. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Is there a quality toner refill brand that you would recommend that's as good as the Brother toner?

my prints are faded at 3500 copies.. I believe this is due to cleaning the developer roller w isopropyl alcohol. could there be another possible reason?
Hello, I did all the step but it shows dark background on the page when It print. Do you have any idea of the cause? I did theee cartridges and all 3 has the same issue.
Printer worked very well after the 2nd filling. 10 days later, I unplugged it for 5 hours, all of a sudden I get “Replace Toner” popup . What should I do?
I donìt know. itìs strange. try reset the counter from the printer menu. may be the reset gear is low yield type, and after 1000-1400 prints you get the error message
But sir my printer cartridge is different tn 263 when I refill this and put back in printer then reset manually in printer screen and reset option come but dose not accept when I press button
Dependiendo del modelo cada uno tiene un método ligeramente distinto para resetear por software la impresora y que reconozca el cartucho. Busca eso según tu modelo. Slds.

You can try to clean the roller with isopropypic alcohol
With these $15 off $75 coupons on eBay, refilling is almost not worth the time based on aftermarket carts.
Thanks for the upload, year 2020 and valid.

I feel I can tackle this...brilliant video tutorial...thanks! Is there a recommended best toner to use before I purchase?
No, indeed all Brother toner powders are almost the same
Hello, thank you for this. The only thing that did not work as described is the resetting through the printer. When I press "Secure" and "Cancel" at the same time, I do not get the reset menu, and am not able to reset it. Looking into resetting manually now.
I was able to do it manually very easily. Thanks for the video!
+NikiRealtor I do not know any other method. do you open the front cover?
Well, the video talks about doing it through the printer settings. But I tried that repeatedly a dozen times and it did not do anything.
+NikiRealtor press and hold secure and cancel until the menu appear. you can reset the cartridge using the reset gear too
I have an HL-3170CDW and I've always used the printer's menu to reset the toner carts. and the drums too. Follow the instructions VERY CLOSELY.
what if the foam roller is damaged? does it have any effect?
The foam roller has to bring the toner to the toner roller. If damaged, part of the foam roller could daamage the toner cartridge
@@viandant5 i cannot find any replacement for this. I tried the cardboard cleaning I didnt know that there's foam roller there. I went too deep and scratched the foam.
@@rosscat1226 I think you have to change the whole cartridge. It's not a common spare part
Very well explained. Thank you.
Hi.what happens if you put more toner?
the toner low error mrssage will arrive after a certain number of copies, so it's not important how much toner there is
@@viandant5 i see. i have friend who puts the entire bottle of powder around 100grams in a cartidge.is he wrong?does it mean there is a chance that more powder is left wasted inside the cartridge once the toner low error message appears?he refills starter cartridges.
@@viandant5 So...no need to weigh my toner before pouring - just fill to top, and no quality or longevity problem will result?
@@davids1681 You waste toner. The cartridge will only use around 80-100 grams of toner
One of the most thorough videos I've ever seen on refilling a toner cartridge. Thank you for taking the time to make the video. Is there a quality toner refill brand that you would recommend that's as good as the Brother toner?
+ecleveland1 Thank you. indeed, most of compatible cartridges made in China work well
Thanks

I got all the process of disassembled and clean.
But my cartridges don't have reset gear, I don't need it if I reset it feel. The printer is that correct
Thank ahed of time for your help
Probably you have a starter cartridge, in this cartridge there is no reset gear. You'll find reset instructions in the description of the video

you need to but the resets gear

You have to clean the foam roller inside the unit
my prints are faded at 3500 copies.. I believe this is due to cleaning the developer roller w isopropyl alcohol. could there be another possible reason?
No, the alcohol do not damage the developer roller. After 3500 copies may be the developer roller or the doctor blade is worn, or the toner is too old
+viandant5 so I have to transplant each to a good cartridge to diagnose..
yes, try that. first the developer roller, but I think it's a toner problem
Very good video, Thank you!
Hello, I did all the step but it shows dark background on the page when It print. Do you have any idea of the cause?
I did theee cartridges and all 3 has the same issue.
Did you remove all the old toner from the refilled cartridges? This one could be the problem
Printer worked very well after the 2nd filling. 10 days later, I unplugged it for 5 hours, all of a sudden I get “Replace Toner” popup . What should I do?
I donìt know. itìs strange. try reset the counter from the printer menu. may be the reset gear is low yield type, and after 1000-1400 prints you get the error message
reset gear and spring need buy? ty
only in starter cartridges
viandant5 so no need buy?
If present, there is no need to buy it
MY 3270CDW is still showing to replace new toner, even I plug a new or refill toner. How can I do, Sir. Thx
Did you try to reset the cartridge with the control panel?
Many thanks !!!!!
i have brother dcp L3551cdw printer this cartridges tn-263 this come with new printer how can put reset gear in plz help me

@@balramgupta6506 Did you install the chip?
@@viandant5 but there is no chip system I can send you photo of cartridge you give me your what's no
@@balramgupta6506 at 7:04 of the video I gave you the link before, there is the chip
If you can reset these via the printer menu, why bother with this reset gear??
He hecho lo mismo pero no reconoce la impresora el toner. Que puede ser?
