Don't rush out to buy a replacement toner. Brother is trying to rip you off, so fight back. I did some dissecting and found a little trick that will help prolong the life of your toner cartridges for your laser printer. Enjoy! and sorry about the random cell phone noises. Hope this saves some money!

  • 5 workers from Brother have seen this,

    and let me say 'F.U.' for them

  • @YoungYunCho I hope you mean that directed towards Brother and not towards me :)

  • Good one, lucky i didn't throw out all the other 5 cartridges :) thanks mate :)

  • @galaxypromotional Uh oh, be sure you don't become a hoarder!

  • Also, if it's starting to print unevenly, you can take it out and smack it against your hand a few times side to side to even out the toner distribution. Makes it last even longer!

  • @rjc34 Absolutely, I noticed it making dark streaks down the pages at one point and shaking it gently from side to side did the trick.

  • brilliant!

  • Thanks!

  • Thank you!!

  • dude it works~! thanks!

  • Outstanding. Power to the People!

  • The true lesson in this video is "don't buy a macaw - they're really loud"

  • I have a HL-2040 and this trick worked wonders for me too, despite my cartridge being quite old it still had toner left.

  • I am so grateful. After shaking the cartridge and cleaning the corona wire to no avail, I was getting ready to buy yet another replacement. (At this point, I've easily spent more on replacement toner than I did for the HL-2141 itself.)

    I still miss my late, great Brother HL-2140 because its toner lasted a whole lot longer. Plus, if you shook its cartridge after the yellow "Toner" light went on, the cartridge generally lasted quite some time until it truly gave out.

  • Sweet. Thank you very much.

  • Like a charm! Thanks from Argentina =)
