Oh my gosh, another great how to.
Basically I need to just go clean up my machine rather than needing to buy another. Thank you for saving me hundreds
Thanks - cleaning the blade with a piece of paper as shown got rid of white stripes I was getting. Been driving me crazy, now prints perfectly. Toner cartridge was still half full, so saved me $50 for a replacement that I didn't need yet.
Wow, finally a video that actually helps.
Thank you!
With your great info I just fixed my toner cartridge. It was faded right down the middle of the page. I'd already ordered another but it'll get used eventually. Thank You.
Thanks for this. I ended up taking the blade out and cleaning it that way. There was a lot of built up toner on it. That was my problem with bad prints. Now it's like new again. This will save me hundreds of dollars a year now.
How can I replace toner cartridge
Thank you! Great video! I was thinking about buying a new printer due to the poor print quality I was experiencing. Now my prints are perfect.
Excellent. Allowed me to fix a white stripe on my Brother printer which was preventing bar codes from being properly printed.
thank you so much for this!!! our printer has been leaking more and more for a while and sure enough i just had to wipe it like you instructed! amazing video!
this website is a treasure trove of knowledge..... very helpful!
Good video, and he ID'd my problem of ghost printing due to dirty roller.
Thank you very much! I had part of my page printing lighter... A quick swipe with a business card fixed it right up
This is an excellent video. After cleaning the roller per this video, my printer works like brand new. Thank you very much
Thank you! Using a piece of cardboard to clean the blade worked for me. Much appreciated!
Thanks, the insert thin cardboard tip worked, half-used 3rd party toner saved. Subscribed. (P.S. thrown away the old original toner with scaly cracks on the roll. Sad to say that 3rd party toner works better.)
Wipe with cloth appears not to work for me, printout has a blank 2mm horizontal line for about 10-20 pages (fortunately it got normal later). Almost thrown the toner.
perfect. Thank you. I was able to fix the stripes in the print quality. Thanks again!
This fixed my problem. Thankyou soooo much!
This actually worked! I'm surprised the doctor blade could get contaminated this way...
I use xerox m225dw.. and the catridge as same... Thank you for solution..
using cleaning wipes and/or paper towel won't work... I was able to get the black lines to stop showing on my scanner with glass cleaner and a MICROFIBER CLOTH. had to be dirt or a smudge of ink that came off some labels that I had printed, but the microfiber cloth was able to really clean it. spray cloth not machine. I have a MFC-L2700DW. the black lines were just on scanned docs using the feeding tray on top

OOOOeemmgee you are a life saver.Thank you!
Very good. Thanks you.
Thank you very much!
Brother HL2240
I'm printing circuit board artwork onto transparencies.
My toolchain: Ubuntu/KiCAD/GIMP/printing a .xcf file directly from GIMP w/max resolution and absolute black/white contrast/no grey scale or antialiasing.
I'm using the default printer driver and I have tried all paper settings. The default "plain" paper setting is the only one that maintains the fine line details of the artwork on the print.
Question:
Is there a way to increase the darkness of the print while maintaining print quality/detail? You mentioned here that the voltage setting regulates the toner. I assume I could modify the cartridge to the lower setting. However, if the voltage is the only factor I will reverse engineer and modify the circuit to add my own fine tuning adjustment. This printer is dedicated to PCB fabrication only. Any advice is welcome. I assume all responsibility for my modifications.
-Jake
The voltage is the main factor but I don't know how to modify the voltage. I suggest you a Canon or HP printer. Canon technology is more reliable
Thanks!!
MAN, I hope this'll help me solve this "many light stripes" (on copies) problem!!!
Check the scanner glass, not the wide glass but the laser glass scanner
thank you
Helpful.
Hello! I've recently bought an aftermarket cheap toner for my brother 2540 printer and its giving black spots on the left side of the page with every print. I have clean the drum but did not resolve the issue. Please, I need some advice. Thanks in advance!!
check the cartridge, may be the mylar blade under the developer roller is damaged and some toner fall over the page. are nthe dots at the same distance? check the developer roller of the toner cartrisdge, may be it's damaged
Hi! Thanks for the information on this video. I have a Brother HL-5340DL that has been printing progressively fainter. If the problem is, like mentioned in the video, voltage set too high by the printer, assuming it's a new cartridge, is there any way to force the printer to reduce voltage? Thanks in advance!
No, there is no way. The problem could be the drum unit
@@viandant5 Thanks for your quick reply! I'm going the hard way and check all of it (hope it's not a dirty laser unit. I love this printer and don't want to part with it :-)
I have a HL-L2320D, and the toner has the same issue. Inspection finds cracks in the roll in the toner, hinting on bad rubber. Finally replacing it with a 3rd party toner fixed it.
@@wing-chungleung1461 Thanks for the suggestion. One year later and it still has issues.
sir my problem in dcp2540 is their a dark backgroun in the printed copy how to fix?
probably you have to change the toner cartridge and clean the drum surface
It would be nice if you explained how to remove the drum unit. Our Brother is a different model, and I don't know how to remove it.
which Brother model?
I have a Fax4100 (...not 4100e, as far as I know). Drum is new, toner is new, drum reset, scanner bar cleaned, but prints are very light. Driver is new and this is a Windows 7, 32bit machine. When I go to printers and the Brother, there is no place for me to set density in the advanced tab (which is at the bottom of the page, not a top tab.) Can you give me any suggestions? Is there a mirror within the machine that could be dirty??? I am out of ideas!!!
I think it's not a dirty mirror. it could cause white or grey streaks, not light prints.Try to clean the transfer roller. try to clean the drum with a soft cloth
The printer was a bit complicated to hook up ruclips.net/user/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 but it does the job very efficiently. I like the ink wells versus the ink cartages that cost an arm and a leg. It prints quickly and the quality is excellent. It shuts off when not in use, so you have to remember to turn it on. Overall, it exceeds my expectations. I'll update my review in a couple of months.
thenks for you bhai
What happens when the gear does not turn the developer roller? I'm having that issue. Seems like the roller metal end can't properly hook onto the gear. I tried to remove the plate on the side of the gear, and I pushed the metal end into the gear. It would turn ok. I closed up everything then put it back into the printer. Then as I print, the metal becomes loose from the gear again
It happens that the roller does not turn and the toner can't be transferred on the drum. Probably the internal part of the gear is defective, or there is something blocked the toner roller movement
When I copy something it makes the bad sound.
Getting Ghost images on a brother 8840 D. First time I have had trouble with it. Replaced the drum, fuser, and toner cartridge with new brother equipment, and cleaned the laser window; the problem is still not fixed. Any thoughts?
You have to change drum and toner cartridge at the same time. a defective toner could damage the drum unit. try to clean the drum unit
viandant5 I replaced toner and drum at same time. Both from brother via amazon
Did you change the fusers too? There is nothing else in the printer, The transfer roller is into the drum unit. at this point it could be the main board but
I did all the cleaning routines on my 5340D but I still have a dull dark 1/4" wide horizontal line or mark across my print. It looks like transfer possibly , each page it's in a different spot across the page. HELP!
only one line? it could be the transfer roller, check if it's in the correct position. check the contacts between the drum unit and the printer
@@viandant5 It seems to be about 4 " apart and is a dull line about 1/4" wide.
@@skipwavedx5151so it's a repetitive defect? about 4" - 10 cm could be the toner cartridge too
2541dw , the problem is after cartiage refilling , lines come when images are be copied , when toner take out it shows lines on the roller , what was the problem and how it will be solved.
probably the problem is the toner roler blade, dirty or defective. Or the toner roller has been damaged by a defective toner roller blade
Do you have a video replacing all gear at left side.
which cartridge?
There is a noise inside my printer that seems like chainsaw everytime i start printing. And the paper jams in the drum or sometimes near the transfer roller. How shall i fix? Thanks.
It's difficult to say without checking the printer. Does the drum turn freely? Does the toner roller turn? The transfer roller is in the drum unit
Thanks for this. Unfortunately, I still have a problem. A few years ago I ran some label sheets through my printer. One of them jammed. Since then, every print I do has a light dusting of toner over the entire page. I've cleaned everything I can reach including following the instructions you have provided. I still have the dusting problem. Any suggestions? Thank you.
somwtime a cleaning is not enought. probably you have to change the toner cartridge or the drum unit
@@viandant5 Thanks for replying. So it's likely that my overall problem is being generated by the toner cartridge? I was imagining it to be some dirty spot inside the machine I haven't found?
@@eloheimchannel a grey background in brother printers often is a toner cartridge problem
@@viandant5 thanks again!
do u have any idea how to solve wrinkled paper printout in samsung scx 3401 printer
It's difficult to sa, it could be a fuser problem or the paper rubber roller. what is exact a wrinkled paper?

Try to clean the developer roller with alcohol, try to change the drum, are you sure of the quality of he toner powder?
Can you please make video how to replace the glass scanner for dcp l2540, because i have a broken scanner glass need to replace. Thanks
my printer brother 2520D cause printing problem one side print good but other side print lighter please tell me what to do
remove and reinstall the toner cartridge more times. it could be not in the right position. look at the toner roller, doese toner cover the whole roller? may be the toner cartridge is empty
Hello sir my problem us brother 2550
No Toner/ Toner Ended even after refilling Toner Cartilage.
Did you reset the cartridge using the reset gear?
Hi... I got brother hl-2140 printer storing for 3 years not in use... But just now I try to print something... That become black page... Actually what is the problem...?
May be the drum unit, the mother board, or some contact between drum unit and the printer
Hi! My Brother printer gave me fainted print on the right side( there is no obvious line between dark and pale print. What is the possible problem?
Check if the toner cartridge is correctly installed, the toner roller must be in contact with the drum. check the corona wire, check if the corona claener is in the right position
I have 3 blue dots and I cannot get rid of them
So what exactly is the fix for if the printer is printing light? I cleaned my toner cartridge yesterday and after putting it in it is still printing light. I didn't know what the problem was but from your video it sounds like it's an issue with the voltage and that my printer thinks that it's a used cartridge
Is the toner old, or dump? Are you sure the problem is the toner cartrisdge and not the drum?
@@viandant5 as far as I'm aware it is a new toner cartridge that was purchased a while ago to replace the last one. We've had to clean it a couple of times. The last time I cleaned the developer roller, it fixed the problem, there wasn't any streaking or lines anymore and it printed black instead of gray. This last time I cleaned it the same way and now the streaking is gone and it's printing consistently, but everything is like 50% darkness instead of being properly black. I also did some test prints, because I read that you should do like 10 test prints just to get the toner to even out, but every single one of them was identical and only Gray. Also I guess it's possible that it's low on toner, but the printer hasn't alerted that it's low on toner
@@nobody2021 If the cartridge is some years old May be the toner powder inside the cartridge is dump. Probably you have tio change the cartridge or refill the cartridge
good ASMR
Sar Brother printer dcpl2520d white print what to dou
Ithink the problem could be the drum unit.
my tonner has full ink and after cleaning the blade and roller the print out is still dull
may be the toner is too old, or the problem is the drum unit
What part of the printer need to replace if some words were not able to print.
Which printer? It's difficult to say, what does it mean some world?
My toner developer roller got sctrached while cleaning whether it is necessary to replace or can continue
If it's not too much damaged probably it could work.
@@viandant5 thank you for your reply
I just replaced my Brother toner with an after market cartridge. It prints well however, there is a very faint gray background. Its hardly noticeable but its there. Any suggestions to get rid of that??? Thanks.
Try to clean the drum but it's a toner cartridge defect. The toner is 100% in the Menu?
What are you referring to when you say menu?
@@panamajosh76 Which printer do you have? Does it have a control panel with a display?
Brother HL-L5200DW
@@panamajosh76 in the display of the printer check the level of the toner cartridges
HI,
My MFC-7440N does not print on one spot of the page at all, so when you print a page there is a so-called white line where the toner never goes on. This is from the top of the page to the bottom and is in the middle of the page. Do you have a fix for that?
Thank you
Check the corona wire of the drum unit, is it dirty? Try to clean it. Check the toner roller, is the toner evely distribuited on the whole surface?
Hi,
I bought new toner and drum but it still does that. This is a 2nd hand machine is there another fix I can do
@@vijaykhatri7539 It could be the glass of the laser scanner dirty
Hi,
Thanks for that, will try it but then why does it do that when I print from my computer?
@@vijaykhatri7539 when you make a copy is the print perfect?
my bro, my HL 1110 is having faded print. It is not on always on the left side, but on different spot. I have done cleaning developer roller and still having problem. do i need to change the drum unit? I hope you can help me identify which exact problem so I dont need to replace the whole drum 😢i mean if i change the whole drum, i would not know the actual problem and problem will come back. I thought maybe i can just replace the developer roller only to test it out?
The faded spots are at the same distance? Which distance?
@@viandant5 Hi bro, i have printed 10 pages and some pages are ok and some are
not. Pls refer the links (i have to separate the links because youtube is censoring multiple link in 1 post). I have highlighted in orange marker and pixelize because it contains client data. Very much appreciated your advice.

My toner is replaced and I can scan, and copy, test page comes out fine but I can not get it to print. It spits out blank sheets. What is wrong?
I would start reinstalling the driver, check the USB cable, or the wi-fi properties
Check drum unit corona wire....
Is this really necessary for a £12.50 toner? Remade one of course
12.50 are money for someone
my printer produce sound during copying why?
It's difficult to say because it could be lot of causes. it could be fuser gers, bushings, drum against charge roller. for start you could remove the toner and the drum unit and turn them manually to check if the problem is there
How to replace the foam beside the blade on the roller

@@ayeniademola6398 Try to clean the roller with isopropyl alcohol, or may be the toner powder is damp or too old
Seems easier just buying a new toner cartridge. They are cheap on ebay.
Genuine cartridge are not that cheap.You should buy genuine cartridge for brother printers.If you use other compatible cartridges it can damage your brother printer.
Don't understand what direction to turn the roller while cleanng it. She says rotate roller only this direction. Needs to tell us how to hold the cartridge so correct side is up, since my cartridge is different than this one.
2:44 there is the direction
The solution is not to buy Brother laser printer. It has lots of defects and is not appropriate to print photos at all.
Not correct.
(a) Depends on the Model / Type Number the printer specifications vary.
(b) printer resolution can be changed to suit the type of print job, Maximum DPI varies depending on what Model of printer you have.
You may also have toner saving function ON.
Check All your Printer settings.
Here in our office, we operate BROTHER - HP - KONIKA-MINOLTA LASER PRINTERS (Mono chrome and Color) As well as Epson Ink printers using BULK INK FED FROM 500ml ink reservoir.
When the printers are maintained well and cleaned they will operate without problems.
A.C.A.D. = all cartridges are different
Brother printers are a joke. Half the toner carts I buy have issues.
