Replacing The Drum Unit - Brother HL-1060 Series User Manual

USER'S GUIDE

REPLACING THE DRUM UNIT

CHAPTER 5 –6
The printer uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the Drum
lamp is on, it indicates the drum unit is nearly at the end of its life. We
recommend you prepare a new drum unit to replace the current one. Even if
the Drum lamp is on, you may be able to continue to print without replacing
the drum unit for a while. If there is a noticeable deterioration in the output
print quality even before the Drum lamp lights, then the drum unit should
be replaced.

Caution
When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully as it may contain
toner.
You should clean the printer when you replace the drum unit. See
"CLEANING THE PRINTER"
Note
The drum unit is a consumable, 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, the number of
pages per print job, etc.. The drum life is estimated at approximately 20,000
pages at 20 pages per job and 8,000 pages at 1 page per job. The actual
number of pages that 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 genuine Brother toner, and the product
should only be used in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate
ventilation.
