How to Perform the Change Belt Unit Replacement and Reset on the Brother 9440 and 9040

The BU-100CL belt unit is rated at about 50,000 prints and copies. This unit is one of the most import parts of the image processing procedure and should be replaced at this time. Most the ones that I replace are already showing signs of wear and tear. Failure to replace this unit when the message is displayed can lead to premature drum wear and sooner than average waste toner bin removal. Below is the  Change Belt Unit Replacement and Reset procedure. Unlike the toner cartridges the belt message will not go away unless you perform the reset procedure so don’t forget this step once you have the belt replaced.
