How to Access the Reset Menu on a Brother TN-431, TN-433, TN-436, TN-439 Series Laser Printer

By resetting your Brother printer's page counter directly in the printer menu, you can avoid having to reset your cartridge's reset gear or installing one on a starter cartridge. Resetting the page counter is easier than resetting the cartridge's flag gear as it requires no disassembly. This procedure is also highly recommended before refilling so that you can make full use of the toner inside for additional cost savings.

On the Brother TN-431/433/436/439-series, replacement reset gears are only available for certain models. Therefore, if you will be refilling a starter cartridge, please ensure that the reset gear is available for your model or that your printer will allow you to access the reset menu before placing your order. Do not hesitate to contact us for assistance.
