Replacing The Drum Unit - Brother DCP-8020 User Manual

Replacing the drum unit

The DCP uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the
LCD shows Change Drum Soon , the drum unit is near the end of
its life and it is time to purchase a new one.
Even if the LCD shows Change Drum Soon , you may be able to
continue printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while.
However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print
quality (even before Change Drum Soon appears), then the drum
unit should be replaced. You should clean the DCP when you
replace the drum unit. (See Cleaning the drum unit on page 14-23.)
Caution
When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains
toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty,
immediately wipe or wash with cold water.
The actual number of pages your drum will print may be
significantly less than the figure shown on page S-6. 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.
WARNING
Just after you have used the DCP, some internal parts of the DCP
are extremely HOT! So please be careful.
