Toner light
The toner light on my Brother2140 flashes continuously.
I have replaced the cartridge & it prints ok but it still flashes. Does it signify anything serious? Laurence

Laurence The toner reset is performed by a little white flag in the toner cartridge. Remove the toner and look at the left end. there is a little white flag in a slot that is a part of a circle. Was the new toner from Brother or is it remanufactured? If remanufactured then that white flag should have been set to the correct end of the slot during the refilling, if that was not done your printer will think that the cartridge has not been replaced and the light will flash. If the cartridge you have does not have a flag, but there is a slot where it belongs then it was a starter cartridge (came with the printer) and will not reset the printer. The flag can be reset but that requires the left end of the cartridge to be removed. If this was remanufactured I suggest you get a replacement from the supplier. Tony
