A. If the printer's display continues to show the Toner Low, Replace Toner or Toner Ended error indication after installing a new Brother MFC 7460DN toner cartridge, follow the steps below to resolve the issue.

• Verify that you didn't replace incorrect consumable by mistake.
  The Brother has separate cartridges for different printers. So make sure the the toner cartridge and the drum unit you pick is the one compatible with your printer model. Verify the Brother MFC 7460DN toner cartridge model number with the ones listed above on this page

Swapping toner cartridges from one machine to another or installing a partially used toner cartridge may cause this issue.

• Verify the toner cartridge is installed correctly.
  If you have installed a new Brother MFC 7460DN toner cartridge but still the "Toner Low", "Replace Toner" or "Toner Ended" error indication remains, the toner cartridge may not be installed correctly. Reinstall the toner.
• Clean the corona wire.
  This issue may have occurred because the corona wire has become dirty.
• Update the firmware to the latest version.
  Go to Downloads section of this website to check the latest version of the firmware.
  • If you see the Firmware Update Tool in the Downloads section, check detail information to identify the firmware version.
  • If the firmware version of your Brother machine is earlier than the latest version, update the firmware. Follow the installation instructions on the download page.
