I still receive the error message "Replace Drum", "Drum End Soon", or "Drum Stop" 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 a new one.

  • Replace Drum
  • Drum End Soon
  • Drum Stop

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

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?"

 

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.

 
  1. Press the Up or Down arrow key (+ or -) to choose Machine Info.. Press OK.
  2. Press the Up or Down arrow key (+ or -) to choose Reset Parts Life. Press OK.
  3. Press the Up or Down arrow key (+ or -) to choose Drum Unit.
  4. Read the message and press the Up arrow key for Reset.

Brother strongly recommends that customers use only genuine Brother drum units and/or toner cartridges Each Brother laser printer is designed to work at pre-set temperatures that are matched exactly to each of our individual toner formulations.
