Need to reset parts life for belt unit, replaced prematurely at same time that waste toner box and drum unit were replaced. Menu offered 4 - reset parts life option for drum unit under 8 - Machine Information. The reset option has now disappeared from the menu, not allowing me to reset belt unit.

The message 'No Waste toner box' indicates the belt unit is not installed properly. To verify the belt unit is installed properly, follow the steps on this link:

If the problem continues, the printer may need service. The printer has a one year limited on-site warranty. If the printer is in warranty, call Brother Customer Service at 1-877-Brother (1-877-276-8437) for warranty options.



If the printer is out of warranty, contact a Brother Authorized Service Center for repair by clicking on the link below:

On most color machines emptying the waste toner cartridge isn't an issue because the auger system dumps it into the waste toner. The brother machines before this a different way and have a cleaning blade in them. This blade wears out over time and needs to be replaced. Those waste toners last forever in that machine so your better off just replacing it. Other wise you probably are going to make a huge mess just to have problems once you get it back together.

1.Turn off the printer power switch. Press the front cover release button and then open the front cover.
2.Hold the green handle of the drum unit. Lift the drum unit up and then pull it out until it stops.
3.Release the gray lock lever (1) that is on the left side of the printer. Pull the drum unit completely out of the printer.
4.Hold the green parts of the belt unit with both hands and lift the belt unit up, then pull it out.
5.Remove the waste toner box from the printer using the green handle.
6.Unpack the new waste toner and put the new waste toner box in the printer using the green handle.
7.Put the belt unit back in the printer. Match the mark on the belt unit to the mark on the printer. Push down on the green area of the belt unit to lock it in place.
8.Put the drum unit back in the printer as follows.

Make sure that the gray lock lever (1) is in the up position and put the drum unit in the printer. Push down the gray lock lever (1).
Push the drum unit in until it stops.
9.Close the front cover. And turn on the printer power switch.

Are you sure of the error message? The Brother printers that I have used have Drum Ends Soon and Change Belt messages.

The Brother MFC-9440CN has a belt that can be replaced. The Belt unit has an life expectancy of ~50000 pages. The belt unit is part BU100CL and costs a bit over $150 at office supply stores. Amazon.com and some other stores have the unit for under $100. http://www.amazon.com/Brother-BU-100CL-HL-4040CN-HL-4070CDW-Series/dp/B000SC245E is one source.

When the unit says Change Belt Unit, follow the directions from the manual's maintenance section to replace the belt unit. See page 178 (page 189 of the PDF) http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/files/dlf/doc002252/mfc9440_usa_usr_b.pdf . You have to remove the Drum and then the Belt Unit. Then slide in the new Belt Unit and replace the Drum unit. Then close the printer and turn it on. Finally reset the counter from the Machine Info sub menu (press Menu 8 4 and select the Belt Unit and press OK. Then press 1 followed by Stop/Exit).

If you mean the Drum Unit, that is part DR-110CL and costs over $175 at the office supply stores. Order this part when the Drum End Soon message appears and replace it if the print quality deteriorates (or when you have the new drum). The Drum Life is ~17000 pages. The steps start on page 166 (182 of the PDF). You need to remove the old Drum unit. Then remove the toner cartridges from the drum. Prepare the new Drum Unit, including putting the cartridges in the new Drum. Then replace the Drum unit and reset the counter.

I hope this helps.

You will need to replace the waste toner box on the Brother HL-4040CN. You can order the replacement from http://www.brothermall.com/Accessories/AccessoryDetail.aspx?AccessID=WT100CL&Model=HL4040CN&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 or your local supplier.

To replace the toner box, turn off the printer and open the front cover. Then remove the drum unit. Place the drum unit on a flat surface covered with newspaper or something else disposable to contain any loose toner. Then remove the belt unit carefully. (Hold the green parts and pull it up and then out.) Again place the belt on newspaper in case there is loose toner.

Now you can remove the waste toner box. Pull it out by the green handle. Discard of this properly.

Then put in the new waste toner box (by the green handle). Return the belt unit to the printer (line up the down arrow on the belt unit with the up arrow on the printer). Push it in and then push down on the green areas until it locks. Then replace the drum unit. (Make sure the grey lever is up when you start and then push it down to lock in the drum.) Line up the green guides on the drum unit with the green arrows on the printer. Close the printer and turn it on.

I hope this helps.

Hi there

You need to get into the menu and in there reset the toner,

I have no idea what ikkenom is smoking.

The Drum Cartridge unit is as user-replaceable as a toner cartridge.

Yes, you will have to replace the drum cart.
