This "secret" reset method has saved me $200.
Hacking the toner counter of Brother HL3070 / HL-4570cdw/ Brother HL-4150CDN by simply open cartridge door and then press both "cancel" and "secure" buttons simultaneously. This will take you to a hidden menu where you will find 3 counters for each of the 4 toners. That will be 12 counters in all. Reset each one and you are back in business.
Concerning this unit has stopped printing four times, telling you that you've burned through three magenta toner cartridges. Each time I used this "secret" reset method and fixed it. I'm still on the original magenta cartridge.
Instruction.
1. Open Cover where you access toner cartridges
2. Press CANCEL & SECURE PRINT buttons at one time and you'll see the toner menus on screen
3. Press + or - to navigate through to the toners you need to reset. Hit "Y" to reset the toner. Scroll through and repeat for each toner color as necessary.
4. Hit OK button when prompted. Reset menu for the durable parts counters:
1. Open cover where you access toners
2. Press GO and + button at once, you'll see menu come up displaying reset counters for drum, fuser, etc.
This tip has been posted on my wall (literal wall, taped to the wall above the printer) for 5 months at this writing, when my toner said it was due for replacement. After 2 years of searching, this is the ONLY answer that worked, and I haven't replaced the toner for 5 months, going strong. GREAT tip of my decade, thank you. None of the other tips from other sites worked, this is beautiful!
