Replacing the Drum Unit The FAX/MFC uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is near the end of its life. Purchase a new drum unit to replace the used one. Even if the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue to print without replacing the drum unit for a while. However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in print quality even before CHANGE DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the printer when you replace the drum unit. Caution When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner. When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the FAX/MFC. The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and toner that you use and the number of pages per print job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000 pages at continuous printing and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum. For best performance, use only a genuine Brother toner cartridge. The product should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation. WARNING Just after you have used the FAX/MFC, some internal parts of the machine are extremely HOT! So please be careful. HOT!

Even if the LCD shows
CHANGE DRUM SOON
, you may be able to continue

So please be careful.
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it
periodically. There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such
as temperature, humidity, type of paper and toner that you use and the number
of pages per print job, etc. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000
pages at continuous printing and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual
number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than these
estimates. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the
actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be
printed by your drum.
