Like brother printer’s toner cartridge, your drum unit needs replacement when it is at the end of its life. Drum unit replacement is mandatory too to keep your printer in good shape.

The drum unit needs replacement after the use of 3-4 toners. The drum life depends on the number of rotations of the drum. When a drum completes the predetermined rotation limit, your printer’s display will show a ‘drum life ends soon’ message. While installing a new drum unit for the first time, don’t forget to reset the drum counter, which counts the rotation on your printer.
The drum unit life is three times longer than a toner cartridge. If you don’t replace the drum unit, you will notice an overall decline in print quality.
