Brother 4040CN Drum Life End Soon Message

Ā 

Recently got an ā€œDrum Life End Soonā€ message. The printer still worked, but the message keeps popping up.

This is tied to a counter The message can be cleared by:

Need to get to the Rest Parts Life menu. Ā This can be done by one of two ways depending on the drum status.

If you are getting the Drum Life End Soon Message

Press the + or – button to choose ā€œMachine Infoā€.
Press OK to proceed to the next menu level, and then press the + or – button to choose
ā€œReset Parts Lifeā€.
Press OK, and then press the + button to choose ā€œDrum Unitā€.
Press OK two times.

*******************OR****************************

If you need to reset the counter without the message appearing.

With the front door open.

1. Ā Press the GO and + buttons at the SAME time. Ā The “Reset Parts Life” will appear on the LCD.Ā 
2. Ā Select Drum Unit.
3. Ā Press OK

    Unfortunately, this is not working for me. What am I doing wrong. I just replace the drum in the HL-4040CN and am trying to reset the counter all to no avail. The drum history is showing 25% life when it should now be 100% I have selected “machine info” however I have never even seen the “reset parts life” option to select. I have followed the diretions on your website as well as several others and have neved been given that option. What am I doing wrong? Please help!
