Drum life is approximate and may vary by type of
use.
• There are many factors that determine the
actual drum life, such as the temperature,
humidity, type of paper, type of toner used
and so on. Under ideal conditions, the
average drum life is estimated at
approximately 25,000 pages. The actual
number of pages that your drum will print
may be significantly less than this
estimate. 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 genuine
Brother toner. The machine should be
used only in a clean, dust-free
environment with adequate ventilation.
• Printing with a non-Brother drum unit may
reduce not only the print quality but also
the quality and life of the machine itself.
Warranty coverage does not apply to
problems caused by the use of a non-
Brother drum unit.
Drum ! A
The corona wires are coated with paper dust
or toner. Clean the corona wires in the four
drums (see Cleaning the corona wires
on page 81).
If you cleaned the corona wires and the Drum
! error was not cleared, then the drum unit is
at the end of its life. Replace the drum unit
with a new set.
Drum End Soon A
The drum unit is nearing the end of its rated
life and will require replacement. We
recommend you keep a genuine Brother
drum unit ready for installation. Buy a new
drum unit (DR-351CL) and have it ready
before you get a Replace Drum message.

Drum Stop A

Replacing the drum unit A
• While removing the drum unit, handle it
carefully because it may contain toner. If
toner scatters on your hands or clothes,
wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
• Every time you replace the drum unit,
clean the inside of the machine
(see Advanced User's Guide).
• DO NOT unpack the new drum unit until
you are ready to install it. Exposure to
direct sunlight (or room light for long
periods of time) may damage the drum
unit.
a Make sure the machine is turned on.
