Every answer below is scoped to these model identifiers. A neighbouring model in the same line can use a different part, a different reset sequence or a different radio, so matching the identifier before following a procedure is the step that decides whether the rest of the page applies to you.

Published specification
What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
These are the properties that decide which procedure applies. Each is read from the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model, not carried over from a sibling that shares its retail name.
- Type — MONOCHROME LASER, PRINT-ONLY (no scanner/copier)
- A black-and-white laser printer that is PRINT-ONLY (HL line, single-function) — NO scanner, copier or fax, and black-only by design. So scan/copy/ADF and colour symptoms both do not apply. Laser uses toner and does not clog from disuse.
- Toner & drum are separate
- Separate toner cartridge and drum unit; a drum message/reset is separate from toner. Faded print is low/unseated toner; streaks are the drum.
- Connectivity
- Wi-Fi/USB; 'offline' is usually a network/queue issue.

Questions that only have an answer for the Brother HL-L2460DW
Each answer below uses this model’s own published figures. The same question asked about a different model in the line has a different answer, which is why it is answered here rather than on a general page.
Can my Brother HL-L2460DW scan or copy documents?+
No — the HL-L2460DW is a print-only monochrome laser printer (Brother's HL line is single-function), so it has no scanner, copier or fax at all; it only prints, and only in black. So there is nothing to troubleshoot for scanning or copying on this model. If you need to scan or copy, a Brother DCP- or MFC-series all-in-one is required. The HL-L2460DW is a compact, low-cost, reliable text printer.
