Toner Reset Instructions For DCP1610W and DCP1510

When a new TN1070 toner is installed in a DCP1610W rand DCP1510  printer, a reset gear should turn and trigger 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. Here’s how to reset the toner cartridge on the printer controls:

  • Make sure the machine is turned on.
  • Make sure the machine’s cover is closed.
  • Press Menu
  • Press the Up/ Down arrow to find Machine Info and then press OK
  • Press the Up/ Down arrow to find Reset Drum and then hold down OK for 5 seconds
  • Don’t press the up arrow to reset the drum, instead press Start
  • Press the Up arrow, and 00 will appear on the screen
  • Once the printer reads Accepted , it should be ready to use

If you get the message “Printer is busy”, then switch the printer off and on

    I have abandoned the printer for over 8 months before I came across this solution.
    Infact, it started working immediately.

    Thanks so much
