I have an older Brother HL-2035. It can be convinced to keep on printing by covering two holes on the cartridge with some duct tape.

- yamazakiwi 4y agoI have an older Brother. I usually have to hit it a few times to get it to print any documents for me but you know how family is.
- TurkishPoptart 4y agoThat's nuts. What's the rationale for that, aside from possibly selling more cartridges? So wasteful!
- simcop2387 4y agoFor some of these it may be a quality issue. With less material to deposit in the cartridge it may not apply evenly. Lots of times this could be fine but it might not always be the case.
- mc32 4y agoThat's possible and understandable for high volume printers. But for personal/desk printers they should have an option like. Cartridges are running low on toner, would you like to enable degraded printing? Rather than having labyrinthine steps to overcome out of toner error (which are not in the manual mind you). My experience is that full color printouts do not suffer. When they do run out, it's noticeable and comes nearly at once --rather than slowly degrading.
- MertsA 4y agoThose two holes are transparent windows across the toner cartridge. It's a level sensor.
- xav0989 4y agoMy brother laser printers have a setting on the web interface for what to do when the "replace toner" warning comes up: either continue printing or stop. They'll happily keep printing if configured to "continue".
