We have a MFC-7220 that continues to give us a Toner Life

Resolved Question:

We have a MFC-7220 that continues to give us a "Toner Life End" message, despite the fact we

have replaced the cartridge. We have taken the new cartridge out and reinstalled it a number oftimes, but continue to get the message, and cannot print.

PCDrMiller :

I can try and assist you with this problem

PCDrMiller :

See if this procedure will work for you.

With power on, open the toner access main door (You will get a "door open" message in the

LCD.)

2. Hit the "Clear/Back" button and... ta-dah!!! you go right to the Toner Reset Menu (cue

Vienna Boy's choir sounds here).

3. Using the up ^ Down > "Search" arrow buttons, you can then scroll through reset options for

each of the printer's [4] toner cartridges!

Code: B. = black; C. = cyan; M. = magenta and Y. = yellow

4. For each for these cartridges is the option to reset for low yield = S (small?) or High Yield = H

5. Using the number keypad, select option #1 (to reset each to the size you have installed.

6. Hit the "Clear/Back" button to get out of the menu, close door ad the problem is FINALLY

solved.

PCDrMiller :

actually this may be the correct procedure for your model, sorry.

PCDrMiller :

1. open front cover

2. while front cover is open and machine is on, push "options"

3. push start

4. (quickly) type in '1' then '0' (typing in "10") . if you are not quick enough in this step, start

from the beginning

5. the machine says 'accepted'

6. toner goes and goes
