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

Is the make and model of the printer a secret? It might make a
difference.

Doesn't cart implies inkjet but toner implies laser?

And then gets dark again at the start of the next document?? If you
only changed the cart, it sounds defective. If you bought he cart
new, I'd call the maker of the cart.

Warranty? If you don't have the receipt, buy another and then take this
one back in that box.

Does the software have a clean, or calibration function? Worth
checking and trying...

The cart may be bad, too. (shelf life)

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.
