Worked for the HL4040CN Thank You!! I have used the tape before but that doesn’t work when the “End of Cartridge Life” message appears. Oh Brother! Always got months more usage before with the tape so am assuming the same for this fix.

Thank you, why do all the cartridges supposedly run out at once, just replaced M,Y,C then days later supposedly black toner ended life although printing full black. Thanks so much for this info, deadlines for morning…midnight now.

The ‘reset’ worked for my black cartridge too. (Brother 4040CN) Didn’t need the tape either. Brilliant! Thanks so much.

Fantastic! I applied the reset process (no taoe over windows) to my HL-4070CDW and I can now print again. Excellent reference is now taped to the side of the printer!

Great tip ! black tape alone over the window didn’t work but after I did the toner life reset described it worked fine, thanks very much.
