Brother HL-2250DN Drum Counter Reset

If you’ve changed the drum in your Brother HL-2250DN printer, and the drum light is still lit, this is what you need to do. To reset the counter on your HL-2130, HL-2132, HL-2135W , HL-2240D, HL-2242D, HL-2250DN and HL-2270DW series printers:

  1. Turn on the printer (assuming it is not already on).
  2. Open the front cover.
  3. Press and hold the GO button for 4 seconds or until all the LED’s light up.
  4. Release the GO button and close the front cover.

Your drum counter should now be reset.

Note: If you have not replaced the drum this will get you printing again. Your printing will drop in quality as the drum wears down, so you’ll still need to replace the drum at some stage.

Five Reasons to Upgrade to Windows 10

Windows 10 is out, and here’s why you should upgrade today. We’ve had plenty of customers ask us if it’s worth upgrading or if Windows 10 is better or worse than Windows 7 and 8. Well, here’s five reasons why we believe you should upgrade

Performance1. Performance

Windows 10 is the fastest Windows operating system to date and requires less resources than Windows 7 did. One of the few times a newer version of Windows has performed faster than an earlier version on the same machine, which is one very good reason to upgrade.

 

Start Up2. Start-Up Times

With Windows 10, booting starting up your PC has never been so fast! No more popping the kettle on whilst your system starts up. Windows 10 uses a hybrid startup mode to achieve these super fast boot times.

 

3. The Start Menu is back!

The Start menu is finally back (and it’s better than ever)! Microsoft have listened to it’s users and finally re-added the Start menu.

 

4. Xbox integration!

With remote play you can stream your Xbox One to your PC display. Now you can continue even when the TV is in use!

 

5. DirectX 12 has arrived!

The future of gaming on PC – with support for multiple graphics chips (even from different companies!). 4K gaming just got easier.

 

Free Online Backup

If you bring your machine to us to upgrade to Windows 10 before Saturday 5th December, we’ll give you a 1 years subscription to online backup to keep all your documents and photos backed up safely online.
