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