How to identify that Brother DCP L5500DN toner cartridge is running low?
Here are a few steps by which one can monitor the life of the toner cartridge and can anticipate when it is time for a replacement:
- All printers keep track of the approximate remaining toner levels either via the printer software that is installed on your computer or on the printer display. The printer should automatically generate a message on the display of your printer when it is time to replace a cartridge. It's not needed to replace the toner cartridge immediately when this message appears first.
- The most obvious sign of a low toner cartridge is the poor print quality. Streaking, missed prints or lines are all possible signs that cartridge replacement is imminent. Even if after trying rocking the toner cartridge and still there are still poor prints, it is likely time to replace the toner cartridge.
- Quality issues also attribute to the drum unit if the printer uses a separate drum and toner cartridge. Drum unit typically needs to be replaced after the use of 3 or 4 toner cartridges, so if it’s been a long time since the drums have been replaced, it is considered replacing that before buying a new Brother DCP L5500DN toner cartridge.
What should one do in case of light Printing?
If the Brother DCP L5500DN toner cartridge is not properly seated in the printer, the printing is likely to fail. The printer sensors fail to detect the cartridge in this situation. Removing followed by reinstalling and locking the cartridge in position can resolve the issue. Sometimes, when people install a new cartridge, they forget to remove the protective strips to seal the cartridge that blocks the flow of ink.
The light print can also be caused due to expired toner or uneven filling in the cartridge. Simply remove the cartridge and shake it vigorously, and try printing again.
