FAQs & Troubleshooting

I still receive the error message "Replace Drums", "Replace Drum(X)", "Drums End Soon", or "Drum End Soon(X)" after I replace the drum unit with a new one.

The following error messages will continue to appear if the drum counter was not reset when you replace the drum unit with new one.

  • Replace Drums
  • Replace Drum (X)
  • Drums End Soon
  • Drum End Soon (X)

To clear these error messages, you need to reset the drum counter as instructed below.

Please follow the steps below to reset the drum counter.

 

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.
