These toners are easy to install. One thing though, after the first warning of these toners being low I take them out and check the little round window to see if there is still toner. If there is, I wind back the gear with a peg on it back to its original position. I recently did this with all three colors as it was reported they were going low. After winding back the gears, the printer performed perfectly for another month with a moderate amount of color printing. Finally, the low toner warnings went off again and since there appeared no more toner, I installed new ones. I have a closet full of these consumables and look forward to many great years printing with these printers. (We have 6 of them)

*EDIT 12/20/10*
We've 3 more of the 9840cdw printers now. Here is something important you should know along with the above information:

Hidden Menus for Brother 9840cdw-

**Toner Reset Menu - Open front door of printer. Press the 'clear' button once or twice. There are two capacities for each color. It will start counting down from whichever you choose.

**Everything Else Reset Menu - Press '3' and '9' at the same time. Hidden reset menu will appear. Select item, select reset.

A trick to get more pages when printer dispalys 'toner life end'. With the toner access door open, press the clear/back button, from here you can reset each color / high yield or regular. Just follow the menu.

When the toner life end message comes up, there are 2 things that need to be done to keep printing. The windows on each side of the cartridge need to be blocked (with electric tape or something similar). And the flag gear on the cartridge needs to be reset. Here is how to do that:
1. Orient cartridge so that you are looking at the end of the cartridge with the 2 phillips head screws, one at the top right, one at the bottom left. You should also see part of the gray flag gear through an opening in the end cap.
2. Remove screws and the end cap they were holding in place (one or 2 gears may fall out when you do this, but they should be simple to pop back into place).
3. Note attachment point of the spring over flag gear, then temporarily remove it so you can reset the gear.
4. Remove the flag gear and reinstall it so that its teeth are just beginning to mesh with the adjoining gear.
5. Reinstall the spring.
6. Reinstall the end cap.
You can also reset the cartridge from the printer. But this will only temporarily override the toner end of life message and allow you to print a few more pages. Here are the instructions for that:
1. With power on, open the toner access main door (You will get a "door open" message in the LCD.)
2. Hit the "Clear/Back" button and you go right to the "Toner Reset Menu"
3. Using the up & down "Search" arrow buttons, you can then scroll through reset options for each of the printer's [4] toner cartridges.
Code: B-TNR-H = black, C-TNR-H = cyan; M-TNR-H = magenta and Y-TNR-H = yellow. The H is for high yield.
4. Highlight the toner you want to reset and hit the OK button.
5. Hit the "Clear/Back" button to get out of the menu, close door.
