Repeated paper jams from the brother hl2070n after remove toner

  1. Remove left cover (where the USB connection is located);
  2. Remove big black gear with a spring on it (you may need to unscrew the PCB that partially covers it);
  3. There is a clutch that sticks to the rubber pad behind this gear. You may put a piece of scotch tape towards to a rubber pad, so the plastic from clutch mechanism would'n stick anymore. http://www.phillycopiers.com/fix/hl-2040-2070-fix.jpg

Why brother printer paper jam

I'm not certain of the cause. It may be an accumulation of dust on the roller. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpzSPRXbLh8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWvO0osJkAc

How do you replace a pick up roller on a brother

The pick up roller is in the paper tray. It is the roller in the middle front of the tray. Usually, you press the roller to one side and it will pop out. Install the new one doing the reverse. There is a seperation pad that may need cleaning, too. Rub it with a damp cloth.



If I could be of further assistance, let me know. If this helps or solves the issue, please rate it.

Brother Hl-2040 laser printer

Fonts and sizes are typically controlled by the application you are using. Are you sure you are increasing the font size? I've had some users confused by the zoom feature which is more like a magnifying lens. It just makes thing larger for viewing purposes and does not affect the print size. To change the actual font size of a document already created you would first highlight the text in the document. In Word (other applications are similar) you would then select Format from the main menu bar, then select Font. In the next box that appears you would click on the Font tab, and then in the Size field select a larger font size. After that click on OK and you should see your font size change. Let us know if that was your problem or not.

Hl 2140 error light is flashing

Got the same problem, but in fact it WAS a paper jam. Open both the back panel (can you see the orange roller clearly? If so, no jam) and the front panel. Grab the handle and take out the toner and drum and check there is no paper. Chances are there will be.

My Brother HL 2170W printer has red error light

There is probably still part of the sheet in the fuser at the back of the machine. The fuser will need to be removed and checked for scraps of paper and/or damage to the temperature sensor and v likely a dislodged paper sensor arm.

Why it prints grey background

Either the toner cartridge is very close to empty or the drum unit needs to be replaced. Check your warning lights. Yellow = toner, red = drum. If no warning lights, pull out the toner/drum unit and remove the toner cartridge. Have a look at the cylinder in the drum (DR2125) - if it is very black and matt looking you will need to have it cleaned or just replace it.

Pages are printing dark (like there's too much toner coming out)

Are you using a compatible toner, or original.. If compatible, go into the settings and lighten the print. If original, could be faulty... but I would say it's the toner. Try another if you have one.
