BROTHER HL-2130 • TN410 TONER CARTRIDGE REMANUFACTURING INSTRUCTIONS
REMANUFACTURING THE BROTHER
HL-2130/DCP-7055 (TN410) TONER CARTRIDGE
By Enrique Stura, Mike Josiah, and the Technical Staff at UniNet
Introduced by Brother into specific markets (Argentina and Australia thus far), the low-cost HL-2130 printer and the multifunction
DCP-7055 version are part of the HL-2 series. This laser engine recognizes a single type of cartridge (TN410), with specifications
similar to previous models released to the market, such as the HL-2240/2270 (TN420/TN450).
The HL-2130 is a 600 x 600 DPI and HQ1200 (2400 x 600 DPI) engine. It comes with standard 8MB of memory
(non-expandable) and runs off a 200MHz ARM9 processor.
In order to print the first page, the warm-up time is 25 seconds after being turned on, and the printing time is seven seconds after
stand-by mode with an ambient temperature no lower than 70°. The lower tray has a 250-sheet capacity at 80g/m2, and the
output tray can accumulate up to 100 printed sheets. The machine is capable of printing at a rate of 20 pages per minute in A4
size, and 21 ppm in Letter format.
It has a manual feed tray can allow up to163g/m2 paper media weight, and down to105g/m2 maximum from the tray.
In theoretical terms, the drum system of this model, HL-2130, is identical to those in the series HL-2240/2270; both use the same
OPC unit, DR420, but not the same toner cartridge. The HL-2130 and the DCP-7055 do not accept the TN420 and
TN450 cartridges, and vice versa; nor does the HL-2240/2270, or the TN410.
The TN410, that is of concern here, comes out of the box with a printer yield of 700 pages, and requires modification in order to
be remanufactured and put to use once again. Brother's new TN410 replacement cartridge (1,000 pages) includes a flag
gear system (or reset gear) in order to reset the counter and refresh the machine to print again, unlike the starter cartridge.
With the exception of non-interchangeability (solvable), the type of reset gear and toner charge volume; the functionality,
working method and supplies necessary for remanufacturing this cartridge are identical to the TN420 and TN450.
At first glance, the TN410 and TN420 starter cartridges look identical, except for some changes to the cylinder heads for both,
which impede or jam the closing of the printer lid in each case. As previously mentioned, the OPC drum unit for the DR420 is the
same for both cartridges, as well as for TN450.
