🖨️ Reset Toner and Drum Count

Many printers, especially the local brothers, rely on a toner count to display when to replace the toner as well as a drum count to display when to replace the drum. This does not always accurately portray whether or not these parts are bad. If the printouts still look good, it is perfectly okay to continue to use the printer after either light comes on. However, a light comes on, it is likely it will not let you print anymore until it is reset. To reset these counts and turn off the lights, you can follow these instructions corresponding to the correct printer.
