Original and largest selling do-it-yourself toner refill
Three refills, and maybe then some
If you've been following us since the early 1990s (and who hasn't) you might know that we put "our corporate
neck on the chopping block and say that the rule of thumb is three refills, and maybe then some".
As far as problems due to "wear and tear" go, the HL-L2300D is example of "and then some". During testing we
got multiple refills out of the starter cartridge, for example. And did nearly 11,000 test prints all told.
"Toner Ended" message?
Delve deeply enough into the PDF User Guides for this family of printers, and you'll find the suggestion that
sometime after you've repeatedly pulled the trick of "resetting", the machine won't have it any more and then
you'll get the
status.
"Toner Ended"
Long story short: we did 6 refills and printed 10,911 copies while mixing a refilled starter cartridge with refilled
bought cartridges willy-nilly. At no point were we stopped from printing. So we've released this product on the
basis that the reset/refill technique is good for at least 10,911 prints (as we weren't able to provoke or witness
a
message during testing
"Toner Ended"
).
The possible "hard reset" solution of the future
Should the much anticipated
message appear. And should that state be insuperable by the
"Toner Ended"
techniques found in these instructions. Or should a reset technique fail for your particular model, we do foresee
a fix.
It's a catch-all fix for all models that use the TN-2310 or TN-2320 cartridges. In fact, it's the one the cartridges
themselves use.
It involves putting a wheel found in the cartridges back to a certain position. That achieves the reset and we
call it a "hard" reset because it depends on physical mechanisms.
The draw back is that, at the time of releasing this product, we don't have independently produced reset wheels
available. And starter cartridges (probably not by any accident) don't have them on. This would mean that the
only way to get a "hard" reset on a starter cartridge would be to buy a Brother original cartridge and
cannibalise the reset wheel off that.
Although, we, in fact did exactly that (and that's how we know all this is true), of course people are interested
in refills precisely so that can avoid buying original cartridges. Duh!
For that reason, we're releasing this kit on a "soft" reset and a prayer as the best way of helping people save
money quickly.
We would look to usher in a "hard" reset solution were it seen to be needed once it were technically possible.
Other things the machine uses
Don't forget that as well as the toner cartridge, your machine also uses a drum unit ...
DR-2300 quoted as yielding 12,000 prints
It has its own duty cycle which isn't affected by whether or not you refill the toner cartridge. See the section
"Consumable items" in your PDF User Guide for more on that.
