Brother HL-2240 Toner light stays on after fitting new toner I found this and it worked great. 1. Power Unit off 2. Open front cover 3. Press and hold GO and turn power on 4. When all 3 lights lit release and press GO twice 5. All lights turn solid 6. With all solid, press GO 5 times 7. Ready light Goes red 8. Close door and you're all set 9. Some say a power off is required, it doesn't hurt :)       If you wanted to buy me a beer for these instructions please use paypal below, I have had a great response and thank you for the donations, it all helps :)        If my instructions have helped and saved you a call out, Buy me a cool beer :)
