Replace Drum
Please follow the steps below to replace the drum unit.
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. Click here to see the detail of the difference between the toner cartridge and the drum unit.
NOTE: Illustrations shown below are from representative product and may differ from your Brother machine.
- While removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it may contain toner. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe or wash it off with cold water.
- Every time you replace the drum unit, clean the inside of the machine.
- Wait to unpack the new drum unit immediately before you put it in the machine. Exposure to direct sunlight or room light may damage the drum unit.
- Leave the machine turned on for 10 minutes for the internal fan to cool the extremely hot parts inside the machine.

After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of the machine will be extremely hot. Wait for the machine to cool down before you touch the internal parts of the machine.
