Overriding Low Toner on a Brother Printer?

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Dumb question but here goes - Did you remove the seal from the new toner?

I hate to admit this, but I performed this exact stupid oversight myself. I
changed the toner in my MFC multi unit because the toner light was flashing.
The toner was an aftermarket unit. There was no indication that the
celo-seal should be removed. So I left it on, thinking that the twisting
motion of loading the cartridge would break the seal. Well - it didn't.
After quite a while of otherwise good printing with the light still
flashing, streaks finally appeared on the printed pages. I removed the new
toner only to discover the seal still intact. I removed it and all is well.
The flashing light went out too....
