When a new TN1070 toner is installed in a Brother HL-1110 or HL-1210W printer, a reset gear turns and triggers a switch to reset the toner counter.
Sometimes the toner counter doesn’t get reset and realigning the reset gear is a little bit too techy for most users.
However there is a continue mode that will let you carry on using the toner regardless of the toner counter. It’s very easy to do:
- Press the power button 7 times to enter continue mode.
- Done. You should now be able to print fine.
- If you want to exit continue mode press the power button 7 times.
Tip: you can also use continue mode to get the last few pages from an empty toner.
Some users have had to unplug the power for a couple of minutes before turning the printer back on after doing the reset.
Please leave a comment if you find this guide useful or there is anything I can add to it to make it easier to follow.

Stopped working after I ignored low toner . Put on new toner and it wouldn’t work. Pressed power button 7 times and worked immediately.
this just saved me from throwing the printer across the rooM!
I found abbroken off piece in the machine..I think it must be damaged…thank you for your help.
Thank you so much, I’ve just printed another 500+ pages with an “empty toner cartridge”.
Thanks works great
Hi there, would this trick work on HL1111?
Thank you!
Hi Maria, it’s worth a try. Let us know how you get on.
super, works for me
Thankyou!
It said I needed to replace toner and wouldn’t print.
But after following your advice, I was able to print from a supposedly ’empty’ cartridge.
Thank you!
It worked like magic! You are legend.
