Please follow the steps below to reset the drum counter.
NOTE: Illustrations shown below are from a representative product and may differ from your Brother machine.

The Brother machine has separate consumables the toner cartridge and the drum unit. Verify you replace only the drum unit and not the toner cartridge. If you want to know their difference, refer to "What is the difference between the toner cartridge and the drum unit?"

Please reset the drum counter only when you replace the drum unit. If you reset the drum counter during the life of the drum unit currently being used, the remaining drum life will not be displayed accurately.

Make sure that the machine is turned on.
Open the front cover.
Press Clear or Clear/Back on the control panel.　
NOTE: The layout of a control panel differs depending on the model, but the Clear or Clear/Back button is located on the right side of the LCD screen as shown in illustration.
Do one of the following.

  Press 1 to reset the drum counter.
- If your Brother machine doesn't have a numeric keypad:
  Press the Up Arrow Key to reset the drum counter.
When the LCD shows Accepted, close the front cover.
