At customer requests, we provide detailed illustrated instructions for refilling starter cartridgesBrotherTN2235, TN2275And TN2090 with the copy counter reset checkbox selected.
So, here are cartridges for the most profitable printers and MFPs without a chip - Brother DCP-7057, DCP-7060D, DCP-7065DN, MFC-7360N, MFC-7460DN, MFC-7860DW, Brother HL-2132R, HL-2240 D, HL-2240 DR, HL-2250 DNR, HL-2270 DW, HL-2280 DW. Unlike similar models in the line of printers and MFPs from HP, Canon, Samsung, and Xerox, Brother printing devices are quite easy to maintain. They use toner cartridges, which are easily refilled with toner and print with a longer resource than the above-mentioned analogues.
Refill Brother cartridges, , You can do it at home using these instructions. To refill you will need: toner, a flag (pendulum) with a spring, a side cover of the cartridge and a nozzle for the toner can (for ease of use). If you don’t have a ready-made one, you will also need a 20mm drill bit to make it according to our instructions.
Refill kits for TN-2235 / TN-2275 and TN-2090 cartridges differ in toner and reset flags. The refilling algorithm for these cartridges is the same.
Please note that after installing the pendulum, starter cartridge Brother TN will turn into a full-fledged refillable cartridge TN-2275/TN-2275/TN-2090.
The Brother TN starter cartridge is typically filled with 700 pages of printing and runs out fairly quickly. It can be refilled for approximately 2,600 pages (at 5% coverage) using Static Control toneror the maximum resource flag. MYou can refill a cartridge for 1000 pages(at 5% coverage) with toner or , if you select the minimum resource checkbox. If you have a printer or MFP of the DCP-7057 / HL-2132 series, then the cartridge can be refilled ONLY for 1000 pages and no more, because The larger resource checkbox does not work in these models. And, therefore, there is no need to use more than 60 grams of toner at a time.
First of all, you need to remove the protective warranty tape that is sealed on the toner bin lid:
Now you can open the hopper lid using a flathead screwdriver:
Empty the cartridge hopper of waste toner:
Using a Phillips screwdriver you can unscrew the screws:
Now remove one by one the two levers (holders) that secure the magnetic shaft of the cartridge:
After this, you can begin to remove the locks from the cartridge. It is convenient to remove the locks using a flat-head screwdriver:
Carefully remove all locks holding the magnetic shaft(developer roller):
After all the locks have been removed, you can remove the magnetic roller (developer roller):
Use a toner vacuum cleaner to thoroughly clean the cartridge to remove any remaining toner. Be sure to carefully remove any toner from the edge of the dispensing blade.
After cleaning the toner, you can install the magnetic roller back, securing it with locks one by one:
Install the levers in their seats and secure with screws:
Now you can add a can of toner to the cartridge:
Close the lid of the toner hopper, take the cartridge in your hands and slightly rotate the magnetic shaft of the cartridge on both sides so as to evenly distribute the toner over its surface:
The cartridge is refilled. Now you need to install the pendulum. To do this, you can use either a kit with a ready-made side cover or a “native” cartridge cover, adapted for installing a flag.
In the pictures below we will show you how to make one for the pendulum with your own hands (if you have a kit with a ready-made side cover, you can skip the instructions for making it and go directly to the part where the installation of the flag is shown).
Before drilling the seat for the flag, it would be advisable to get rid of the starting tooth on the cover:
Place the lid on the edge of the table and begin to carefully drill a hole for the pendulum:
Drill slowly so as not to accidentally damage the cover:
Install the spring as shown in the figure:
Pay attention to the positionbottom gear: the tooth should be set in the position shown in the photo below. The position of the cog also affects the page counter reset. In order for the counter to be reset, both the lower gear and the flag must be set correctly above her.
Place a pendulum on top of the spring:
After installing the flag, put on the drilled cover for fitting, since you will need to cut small grooves on the roof for the teeth of the flag:

The slits can be made with a regular stationery knife.:
The final step: place the cover in place and secure it with screws. Pay attention to the position of the flag's teeth - in the end they should stand exactly like this and no other way:
The cartridge is ready for use.
P. S.
The refilled cartridge with the pendulum should be installed in the turned on printer after all tests have passed and the printer is ready to install the cartridge. This is important because the cartridge pendulum must be firmly in “its” place, otherwise the gears will turn prematurely and throw the flag teeth into the wrong position.
Please note that the checkbox is installed one time on the cartridge. In the future, after each refueling, you just need to twist it to its original position. The cartridge refill process is not very complicated compared to typical laser cartridges HP, Canon, Samsung, Xerox . When refilling, it is very important to thoroughly clean the cartridge of old used toner, otherwise a dirty background may appear on the prints.
All MFP without chip It is beneficial to use with Brother TN2235/TN2275 and TN2090 cartridges due to the low cost of refilling the cartridge. The absence of chips is what made Brother printers so attractive to our consumers.

Have fun typing.
Remove the cover. Add toner. Close the lid. Insert back into the device. I must say that refilling the laser gun is not difficult at all. If you follow certain rules and don’t lose consciousness when hearing the words “screwdriver” and “pliers.” Because these are the tools you need to refill a laser printer cartridge yourself.
Laser printers are refilled with a special powder called toner.
All printers have different toners. The manufacturer usually indicates on toner bottles a list of models for which a particular powder is intended.
The toner is chemically very dangerous, you should use it carefully.
It is important to know whether the cartridge has a special chip that blocks the operation of the device after the consumable has exhausted its resource. If yes, then it is better to take it to a gas station.
Security measures
All components of toner for printing devices are very toxic. To avoid poisoning, before refilling a laser printer cartridge, you should wear rubber gloves, a robe or other clothing that you don’t mind.
Toner replacement should be done in a well-ventilated area. Since small particles of toner dust can even pass through a special gas mask. You can arm yourself with a respirator or gauze bandage. But they are unlikely to help if even the gas mask allows dust particles to pass through.
The table on which the laser printer cartridge will be refilled should be covered with newspaper or something similar.
What are cartridges made of?
There are two types of laser cartridges. Some have a special hole for pouring powder into the hopper, others do not. With such a model you will have to tinker in order to get to the toner compartment.
The print cartridge consists of two parts. The first is the dye hopper. The second is a container for collecting garbage and powder residues.
Replacing the toner in a cartridge is carried out in two stages: first cleaning the waste container, then refilling it.
How to clean a laser printer cartridge
Now you need to disassemble and clean the garbage container from dirt. To do this, use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws that secure the side plugs of the housing. Then carefully pull out the photosensitive drum. It is important not to grab it with your fingers by the main surface, but try to hold it on the sides or by the gear, otherwise the drum will deteriorate and will be unsuitable for subsequent use. After the photo roll is removed from the case, it is advisable to place it away from the main workspace, covering it with a newspaper or sheet of paper to prevent light and dust from entering.
Then you need to remove the charging shaft (rubberized part), which is located under the photosensitive drum. At the same time, remember that all parts must be taken by the side parts. Since damage to the surface of these parts will result in poor print quality.
Now we unscrew the cleaning blade, which is called a squeegee. And carefully, so that the remaining powder and debris do not fly around, turn over and shake out the container. We carefully clean all the parts from paint residues and put them back together. In filling workshops they use a special vacuum cleaner, with which they clean the entire body of the printing device.
Refilling the printer
The toner hopper is located in the second half of the print module. Most often, access to the refill hole is located on the side under a plastic cover. But there are cartridges whose design does not provide holes for filling in paint. In this case, you will have to completely unscrew the cartridge and pour toner into the slot through which it falls onto the magnetic roller. Sometimes a hole is made in the hopper and cartridges are refilled this way. Avoiding complete disassembly and cleaning the entire cartridge.
Having opened the cap of the magnetic hopper, take the toner purchased in advance at an office equipment store, and using a funnel or an A4 sheet rolled into it, pour the powder into the hopper. Do not fill the hopper completely, as this may cause the cartridge to jam. There should be one and a half to two centimeters left to the edge. Then close the lid, assemble both parts and insert the refilled cartridge into the device.
Nuances that you need to pay attention to when refilling toners yourself.
It often happens that laser printer cartridges are equipped with a print counter chip. To refill them, you should contact specialists to reset the data in the chip’s memory or to replace it. Even if you manage to do all the dirty work at home, the printer will simply refuse to work, since “according to its calculations, the resource has already been used up.” 
An important question is “How many times can a cartridge be refilled?” It all depends on the cartridge itself. On average, this amount ranges from 5 to 15 times. Moreover, during every 3–6 refueling it is necessary to perform a restoration. This is a procedure for replacing consumable parts that need to be replaced as they wear out.
In general, refilling is not such a difficult task. But you should take on this business only when you are confident that everything will work out. Otherwise, you will have to buy a new cartridge, and its cost is often comparable to the cost of the device itself. And all the expected savings from the “independent service” will come to naught. If you still have questions about how to refill a laser cartridge, we recommend that you read the instructions for refilling your particular model. To do this, go to the section.
