Yes, these Brother toners do only count the number of pages printed to determine the amount of toner left. When one of the CMY color runs out, they all run out at the same time. Even though the printer may say its completely out of toner, that might not be the case always. To reset the toner (if you know there's ample amount of toner still left), unscrew the two screws on the side, pop off the side cover, and turn the gray gear wheal counterclockwise 90 degrees.

Overall, these toners are fantastic. Highly recommend.

Brother color printers are set to 'run out' of toner after a set number of color pages printed. So there is often plenty of toner left in the cartridge.

To reset the 9440cn printer, turn the printer on and open the toner access main door. You get a 'door open' message on the LCD. Press Clear/Back and you get the toner reset menu. You can then reset the carts by hand using the up/down arrows and the 1 key to select reset.

At the end the printer will report all the carts as full. You can then replace them when they are empty, not when it suits the planned obsolescence dept.

I bought this high-yield toner for the price and that it's the Brother brand. I have tried other "compatible" brands, but they sometimes do not work.
It is cheaper than Costco!

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)

We've 3 more of these printers now. Here is something important you should know along with the above information:

Hidden Menus

**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.

We purchased a four-pack of the TN115 high yield cartridges. Thinking to save some money, we bought them through amazon's [...] partnership. When we put them in to our printer, we were a little disappointed, but lived with the poor ink quality for about a year. We finally got fed up and ordered the real Brother cartridges... what a difference!

The colors were quite faded and greyed in the compatible cartridges, compared to the Brother cartridges.

I wish we'd ordered replacements earlier. Since we lived with it for so long we're not eligible for any type of refund or exchange...

This cartridge lasted exactly one month for our office. We print about 100 color pages a day, 5 days a week. Figure it lasted only 2000 pages or so. The original toner that came with the printer lasted longer. Odd.

I've tried THREE different Brother-compatible cartridges and all three had the same results. they leak all over the inside of the printer. Even after removal, there was smudges on my prints. I ended up having to thoroughly clean the printer inside and out and buy REAL Brother toner. My printer is now working fine, but I'll never buy non-oem cartridges again!

If I could go with negative stars, I would. Toner color is poor, and I quite often spent my time cleaning all of the leaking toner out of the printer. SUCKS! Terrible product.

It is sooo cyan I said cand if you are thinking it is purple, you are high. Good toner cartridge, shipped free, received quickly. I should be praising amazon for this item, instead of brother.

These OEM toner cartridges work perfectly, but they typically claim to be empty of toner when in fact they are less than 1/3 empty. Search on Google to learn how to reset them, which involves taking off a cover plate and rotating a gear. Perfect otherwise. Brother, QUIT RIPPING US OFF!
