Reset procedure for the Brother HL 2140 drum unit

This procedure will reset the drum counter back to zero and allow you to keep using your drum unit long after the Change Drum message appears.

It will not fix any quality issues it will simply allow you to keep printing beyond the set life of the drum unit.

HL PRINTER SERIES:

1.Remove the drum unit and toner cartridge. Wait 1 minute.
2.Replace the drum unit and toner cartridge into printer.
3.The Drum LED continues to blink if the drum counter was not reset when you replaced the drum. We need to reset this now!
4.Open the front cover of the printer
5.Press and hold down Go button for about 4 seconds until all the LEDs light up.
6.Once all 4 LEDs are lit, release the Go button
7.Close the front cover.
8.Your drum is now reset.

Resetting the drum unit will not improve print quality. It only resets your drum and allows you to continue to print. You decide when to replace the drum unit not the manufacturer!

Will I ever have to buy a drum?

The answer to this question is YES. Our reset information above will allow you to extend the life of your drum unit considerably, but you will need to replace the drum unit when it can no longer produce a quality printed page.
