Drum life is approximate and may vary by type of
use.
IMPORTANT
For best performance, use a Brother
Original drum unit and Brother Original
toner units. Printing with a third-party drum
unit or toner unit may reduce not only the
print quality but also the quality and life of
the machine itself. Warranty coverage
may not apply to problems caused by the
use of a third-party drum unit or toner unit.

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 106).
If you cleaned the corona wires and the Drum
! error is still displayed on the Touchscreen,
then the drum unit is at the end of its life.
