Replacing the Drum Unit
The FAX/MFC uses a drum unit to create the print images on paper. If the 
screen displays CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is nearly at the end of 
its life. Purchase a new drum unit to replace the current one.
Even if the display 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 the output print quality even before CHANGE 
DRUM SOON is shown, then the drum unit should be replaced.  ou should clean 
the FAX/MFC when you replace the drum unit.
Caution
When removing the drum unit, handle carefully because it contains toner.  
When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the FAX/MFC. (See 
Cleaning the Drum Unit, page 11-19.)
For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner, and 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.
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 and 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 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.
