Replacing the Drum Unit

The FAX/MFC uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the

screen displays CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is nearly at the end of

its life. Purchase a new drum unit to replace the current one.

Even if the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to

continue to print without replacing the drum unit for a while. However, if there

is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality even before CHANGE

DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replaced. ou should clean

the FAX/MFC when you replace the drum unit.

Caution

When removing the drum unit, handle carefully because it contains toner.

When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the FAX/MFC. (See

Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 11-19.)

For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner, and the product should

be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

WARNING

Just after you have used the FAX/MFC, some internal parts of the machine are

extremely HOT! So please be careful.

The drum unit is a consumable, and it is necessary to replace it periodically.

There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature,

humidity, type of paper and toner that you use and the number of pages per print

job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages at 20 pages

per job and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual number of pages your

drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have

no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot

guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.

HOT!
