Reset the toner light on Brother HL-2240 printer

I purchased the Brother HL-2240 printer on close out sale and love it. I use it attached to my router via http://p910nd.sourceforge.net/ for secure printing over SSH tunnel remotely, and native printing via CUPS AppSocket/JetDirect Protocol socket://192.168.1.1:9100 on home network. Tonight the starter cartridge ran out just as my kids were needing to print homework at 10pm. As you likely know, it is not really out, just reached the 700 page limit in a memory counter of the printer to encourage me to buy toner and keep the land fill full. Thanks to below and added power cycle at step 10, homework got printed.

Here we go. Here is how you reset the toner light on your Brother HL 2240:

1. Turn your Brother HL-2240 off

2. Open the front cover of the printer

3. Press and hold Go and turn power on. Do not let the button go.

4. When all 3 lights light up, release the Go button.

5. Press the Go button twice (You will see the Ready light blink
   green every time you press the Go button)

6. All of the lights will light up

7. With all of the lights on, press and release the Go button 5 
   times  (You will see the Ready light blink green every time 
   you press the Go button)

8. The Error light will start blinking 
   (Don't be alarmed. This is expected.)

9. Close door and wait. The printer will cycle through and make
   the sound it makes when you initially cut it on. After that 
   sound stops, your green Ready light will be on and solid.

10. If Linux computer is searching for maintenance mode driver, 
    power off printer, wait 5 seconds and turn it back on.  

11. You are now ready to print.

So there you go! Support the Brother corporation because they make fantastic printers! Go out and purchase a Brother HL-2240 printer - they are great -, BUT keep your hard earned money in your pocket when it comes to refilling your toner. Buy your toner off of eBay and refill the Brother cartridge that came with the printer. You will save yourself a TON of money over the long haul.

UPDATE - 7/3/2013  - BHL2 MAINTENANCE MODE                                                          
If you are having an issue in addition to the Toner reset problem, have mistakenly placed your printer into maintenance mode by pressing the Go button an incorrect number of times or you are encountering another problem, you can try resetting the printer to the factory default settings.

To perform a factory reset on your Brother HL-2240, you can  follow these instructions:

    Check that the front cover of the printer is closed.
    Turn OFF the power switch on the right side of the printer.
    Press and hold the GO button, and keep holding it down, as you turn on the power switch.
    Keep the GO button pressed down until all the LEDs light up and the Ready LED turns off. Release the GO button. Make sure that all the LEDs turn off.
    Press the GO button 10 times. The Ready LED will flash while the printer is reset. After the printer is reset the Ready LED will be lit.


Smooches,

R820T with HDSDR

I went to Radio Club and a few people were interested in the use of the R820T with HDSDR so this post is for them.
  1. Visit http://hdsdr.de/ and click the download link at the bottom of the page.  Download and install.  
  2. Play around with it using pre recorded I/Q base-band files to decide if this is for you.   
  3. Order:  I have purchased a few of these, the best quality and fastest delivered unit came from nooelec.com I used the ebay store to get free shipping, total cost $17.95.  I also purchased from China seller on ebay same chips, larger package, $8.75 delivered.  Frequency was off by more in the China version but both need to be adjusted in software anyway so it did not make much difference in the end.  While both of the units come with an antenna, you will likely want to attach your own, so you will need MCX Male adapter or connectors.  My favorite wide band RX only antenna is the amplified TV antenna that is already plumbed in every room of the house. For that I purchased 6in F female jack to MCX right angle male Jumper pigtail RG316 cable
  4. Once the unit arrives, do not install the software that comes with it.  Follow these instructions to get it going.  http://hdsdr.de/RTLSDR_with_HDSDR.pdf
