- Reset the "Replace Toner" message of the Brother laser printer and use the remaining toner in the TN-450 cartridge. When the message appears, the printer stops working and asks you to to insert a new cartridge, even though some toner remains. By entering a secret sequence of key strokes, you reset the internal toner meter to Full, allowing you to continue using the same toner cartridge.
After this procedure, get a new toner cartridge promptly because your old one will run out without warning! Have your new cartridge ready to use when your old one starts printing out faded pages.
If the keypad reset method doesn't work, you can turn back the "reset lever" of the TN-450 toner cartridge, as explained in this video: • Reset Lever Gear to Fi...
The keypad reset procedure depends on your Brother laser printer type. Look for "MFC", "DPC", or "HL" at the start of your printer model name.

3. Using the keypad, enter the secret 3-button reset sequence:
* (asterisk)
1
2
The LCD display says "Accepted", then "Cover is Open".
4. Close the cover of the toner drawer. Now you can continue printing.

Brother HL Series printer:

These videos apply to the Brother TN-450 toner cartridge and the similar TN-420 cartridge. The Brother TN-350 cartridge uses a different mechanism. The TN-350 has a clear window that allows the printer to peek inside the toner reservoir. When the toner gets low, the printer can see all the way through, and it issues the Replace Toner message. To continue using the TN-350 cartridge, cover the clear window with a piece of black tape.
This worked completely for a cartridge that still had no toner issues whatsoever. Thanks.
