Brother HL-2140 Printer Reset Tutorial in Simple Steps
If you own a Brother HL-2140 printer and it starts giving you errors like "Replace Drum," "Drum End Soon," or "Toner Low" despite having plenty of toner left, don't worry! You don't need to buy a new drum or toner cartridge just yet. Resetting your Brother HL-2140 printer can often solve these problems and make your printer work like new again. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to reset your Brother HL-2140 printer.
Step 1: Power Off the Printer
The first step is to turn off your Brother HL-2140 printer. You can do this by pressing the "Power" button located on the top left corner of the printer. Make sure that the printer is completely turned off and not just in sleep mode.
Step 2: Open the Printer Cover
Once the printer is turned off, open the printer cover by pulling the front cover towards you. This will expose the drum and toner cartridge.
Step 3: Hold the Go Button
With the printer cover open, locate the "Go" button on the top left corner of the printer, next to the "Cancel" button. Hold down the "Go" button for at least four seconds or until all the LEDs light up.
Step 4: Release the Go Button
After holding down the "Go" button, release it and close the printer cover. The drum and toner cartridge will rotate inside the printer for a few seconds as it resets.
Step 5: Power On the Printer
Finally, power on your Brother HL-2140 printer by pressing the "Power" button. Once the printer is turned on, check to see if the error messages have disappeared and if the printer is working properly again. If not, repeat the steps above or consult your printer manual for further troubleshooting.
Resetting your Brother HL-2140 printer can save you time and money by avoiding costly drum and toner cartridge replacements. It's a simple process that can be done in just a few minutes. However, if you continue to experience issues with your printer, it might be time to seek professional help or consider a new printer altogether.
