Default OT HL 2240 Brother toner cart problem


I just replaced the toner cart in my monochrome printer and the printing
starts fading out after a few pages in a document. Previous carts didn't do
this. It is a Brother cart, not generic. I tried tilting the cart back and
forth as I used to do in my Laserjet when the cart was about empty but it
doesn't help much - same thing happens again after five or ten pages.

Toner light kept coming on after installing this cart until I found
directions on stopping it with Google (Mike's Technical Blog - All Things
I.T.) Any connection?
Have to discard a new cart for another?
Any suggestions?
TIA




Could it be the drum cartridge has lived its lifetime ?
Drum cartridge is good for 12,000 ; extended toner cartridge is good
for 2600 according to this Staples web page ..

Usually there is a way to print out the usage statistics.
