With the printer idle open the front and press secure and cancel buttons simultaneously. On the MFC-L8650CDW open the front an press * on the keypad for 5 seconds (keypad is not illuminated so you have to remember where * is).

You get a menu to reset each colour to a new cartridge of a particular capacity. STanDard, High Capacity, Super High Capacity and on some printers STaRter.

I read that to control print density the printer adjusts the voltage on the cartridge corona wire according to how much toner it thinks the cartridge contains. When you lie to the printer it may affect print quality. If you really want to run cartridges 'dry' it might be better to reset the cartridge when it is part used so the voltage is a bit out most of the time rather than completely out when you reset at the end. If someone here has a nearly empty cartridge to reset a before and after print quality comparison would be interesting.

This is one of the last user-refillable laser printers still available! We have one in use (and another new one for sale...) and when the toner runs out we will be buying this refill kit for £17.50+VAT: http://www.urefilltoner.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx?productCode=BRL8250KITB&price=17.50&id=2710

No brainer if you're going to be a heavy-duty user / keep it for a long time.

Same price on amazon;

Possibly. Just Google the printer model and you'll find compatible toners on Ebay and Amazon UK with feedback from users.

I have one of these and it's been great. However, check the size and weight - they're *big*. Also, if I was buying now, I'd go for one of the Brother multi-function colour lasers that have a £100 cashback promotion on at the moment. The MFC-L8650CDW has already been mentioned, and there's also the DCP-L8400CDN (no Fax) which can be had for a little less (after cashback) here : http://www.leoofficesupplies.co.uk/brother-dcp-l8400cdn-colour-laser-multifunction-ref-dcpl8400cdnzu1.html

I'd assumed that the 8400CDN did 2-sided scanning and copying as it appears to have the same ADF unit. Good spot - that makes the 8650CDW a much better buy - and it has been cheaper than the 8400CDN in the last month or so.

You don't need reset gears. Toner cartridges can be reset from the printer controls. That place is also expensive, £66 for set of toner refill bottles when you can a set of re-manufactured cartridges on ebay from £45.
