Follow the procedure below to replace 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. If you want to know their difference, refer to "What is the difference between the toner cartridge and the drum unit?"

1. Open the front cover and pull out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.

   

2. Hold down the lock lever on the left and pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit.

    

   • Discard the used drum unit according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. Be sure to seal the drum unit tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the unit. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.
   • Wait to unpack the new drum unit until immediately before installing it. Place the old drum unit into the plastic bag.

    

    
   

3. Unpack the new drum unit.

4. Reinstall the toner cartridge into the new drum unit. If you put it in properly, the lock lever will lift automatically.
