Have you been using your Brother HL-5130 these past days and noticed that the documents its printing is somehow faded? Then definitely this is not the type of printouts you want to get from a digital laser printer especially when you’re printing a very important document. That’s why for today’s article, we’re going to give the basic solutions on how to fix the faded printouts you’re Brother HL-5130 is producing. The following instructions are from Brother Solutions Center and are specifically posted in their site to help users maintain their Brother digital laser printer.


Solutions for Faded Printouts
  • Check the printer environment. Conditions such as humidity and high temperatures may cause this
    print fault.
  • If the whole page is too light, Toner Save Mode may be on. Turn off Toner Save Mode in the printer Properties tab of the driver.
  • Install a new Brother TN-540 toner cartridge: (1) Press the cover release button and then open the front cover of the Brother HL-5130 laser printer. (2) Pull out the drum unit assembly (drum unit with toner cartridge). (3) Push down the blue lock lever and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit. (4) Unpack the new toner cartridge. Hold the cartridge level with both hands and gently rock it from side to side five or six times to spread the toner evenly inside the cartridge. (5) Pull off the protective cover. (6) Put the new toner cartridge firmly into the drum unit you hear it lock into place. If you put it in properly, the lock lever
    will lift automatically. (7) Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left and left to right several times. Return the tab to the home position before you put the drum unit back in the printer. If you do not, printed pages may have a vertical stripe. (8) Put the drum unit assembly back in the printer. Close the front cover of the printer.
  • Replace the Brother DR-510 drum unit: (1) Press the cover release button and then open the front cover of the Brother HL-5130 printer. (2) Pull out the drum unit assembly. (3) Push down the blue lock lever and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit. (4) Unpack the new drum unit. (5) Put the toner cartridge firmly into the new drum unit until you hear it lock into place. If you put the cartridge in properly, the blue lock lever will lift automatically. (6) Put the drum unit assembly in the printer. Make sure that the printer is turned on, the front cover is open and the Status LED is red. (7) Reset the drum counter. With the front cover open, press and hold down Go button until all 4 LEDs are lit. Once all 4 LEDs are lit, release the Go button. (8) Close the front cover. (9) Make sure that the Drum LED is now off.
