Why does the cartridge (Tn210 for MFC-9320cw) appear to still be half full of toner?

Good question. My toner seems to last 3 months and then the printer stops working until you replace toner. I'm replacing the printer. Not getting Brother again.

This toner was okay prior toner I bought from you was not totally full, probably used, and ran out of ink. Also I bought a set of cartridges where one was immediately ineffective, leaving a yellow line on all printed pages.

I ignore the pop up messages and just delete them. When the printer stops working because the cartridge is actually empty, we replace. The warnings give you enough time to order a replacement, but I've found that the printer will run for several weeks before replacement is needed. Clearing the nagging warnings can be tiresome. BTW, ours is 9325CW.

There are work arounds to make the printer "think" that you have put in a new toner. If you are not getting stripes on the pages or faded ink, and feel you probably still have toner in the cartridge - follow the steps that you would do when you add a new toner cartridge and you will be up and running again. I do it and sometimes print for MONTHS longer depending on the color. I never replace my toner color until you can tell it's needed when the ink is barely printing any longer. :)

Not sure, I also print 99% of my plans in black & white. So my color cartridges that came with the printer are still full.

My printer is different(dcp-7065). When I installed, I used the old cartridge holder and only replace the toner cartridge. There is a small paper in front of cartridge head(printing), make sure you pull it out. Thanks.

Mine works fine with no issue on ML-1865W. But, I use Ubuntu and for each print it shows me annoying message that toner is ran out.

I forget the model number of the toner, but it is not the one rated for the larger number of copies. It is the smaller of the Brother cartridges. I went ahead and ordered the later toner but haven't opened it yet. We don't do a ton of printing.

The cartridge is full.....it still has all the factory stickers on it, I unwrapped it, it was sealed. However, it does not fit in my printer at all like described on the box that was crushed and taped....completely different shape....is not compatible.

If you have removed the packaging tape and set the cartridge firmly into the slot, turned the unit back on and it still does not recognize it then the contact points were never replaced. Once a cartridge is empty and reloaded they have to replace the contact points which tell the unit it is full of toner again. Hope that makes sense.

I had the same problem there is a drum component of the toner cartridge that electrostatically "spreads the toner" before it is heated and fused to the paper. I believe the drum unit is defective. I returned my cartridge to Amazon for this reason. I had smudges and what looked like double images on the paper.

Never looked. Figured I bought a cartridge a month before I installed it there should be no problem. Unfortunately I threw the whole cartridge out and box as I needed this printer functional for my business.

I had a similar experience once. My printer showed that my toner was getting low so I ordered a cartridge but did not need to do the actual replacement for about 2-3 months. It worked perfectly when I installed it without any loss of print quality. I had stored in in a cool place, unopened. This is just my experience, I don't know what Brother recommends as optimal storage time.

Sorry but I haven't had the chance to get a good idea on how many prints we get with this. I've only changed the cartridge once since buying the printer and we've run several hundred pages through it and it still appears about half full.

not sure yet--with the brand new cartridge in the new printer, I have printed over 150 pages and have received ""prepare to replace toner message"" for the last 10 or so printings; the b.s. in the pro-mo literature states cartridge is good for 700 pages; pressing code menu--1--8 allows continued printing, but anticipate shutdown around 200; of course nothing in the promotional information indicates any reference to word density--words per page.....Raines BCNU

You probably removed the drum that goes with the toner when you removed your old toner. Reuse the drum with the new toner.

Cartridges are included, however I recall they are labeled as INTRO cartridges so my guess is that they may only be partially full.

Didn't check that, but next time I will, thanks to you. I can't check it now for I have used the box to send the used cartridge to HP for disposal.When I put it in the HP 4600, it registered full and works just fine.

yup!!! same here! although, i'm not quite sure it was full when i received the cartridge to begin with so, who knows!

I haven't had much luck in refilling my cartridge. But yes. It can. (You may just have to deal with "toner low" messages though)I acquired a reset gear for my cartridge, but it still doesn't work for some reason. *shrugs*It's not a big problem by any means.
