If it's printing good, no streaks on the edges where you can see the drum leaving a roll spot - then you can reset the drum counter. Do this by opening the compartment where you put the toner and drum. Hit the clear button and a message will come on replace drum (y/n), hit yes and it will take replace drum error away. We only replace the drum when it starts to print bad, every 40-50 thousand copies instead of the recommended 20 thousand copies.

You need to reset the drum meter after you replace the drum. The new drum comes with instruction on how to reset the meter.

This might be the issue - when you pull out the cartridge like assembly from the printer it is actually both the toner and the drum. The toner cartridge is grey and the drum is the black frame and mechanism around it. My Brother HL-2140 has a green button on the left that you push to release the toner cartridge, allowing you to lift it out and swap it with the replacement. Hope this helps!

Our fax is a Brother 2800 and works fine with the drum unit we received.....don't know what MFC is.

Hello Bansheer Briar, Thank you for your email. Usually it does mean that you need to change the toner. As far as the drum is concern, it usually leaves black stripes on the paper. For a better information, Please contact Brother support. Regards

I can't remember the exact model of our machine but it did work. I'll revisit this on Monday to confirm it for you. However, after a couple months of installing the unit I'm getting an error message stating to replace the drum. Our technician has to check it.

I had a similar problem with this particular cartridge in my Brother HL-2240 myself. This is the solution that worked for me: http://iamdotnetcrazy.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-reset-your-brother-hl-2240-after.html

It is a compatible. My drum skips, the next time I will buy original new Brother drum. Tones seems to be OK, I have not used it much.

You probably removed the drum that goes with the toner when you removed your old toner. Reuse the drum with the new toner.

Hi John, I purchased these for my MFC-9125CN, and have had no trouble at all with them. I know how expensive drums can be, so I think this is a real bargain!

All Brother machines require both a drum and a toner cartridge. And, no, you do not have to replace the drum as often. I changed mine about 2 times per year and we print a lot. There are other economical remanufacturered type cartridges but we have always stuck with the Brother brand name.

I have this machine now. I strongly advise against buying one. It's flimsy and the drum never fails to get stuck inside.I'm replacing mine asap.

There's good article at http://printgreen.weebly.com/1/post/2014/01/reset-the-drum-counter-of-your-brother-dr310cl-drum-unit.html that shows you exactly how to reset it. Hope this helps

I'm not sure if it fits that model but in my case the drum was loose and kept tearing up my gasket. That was a waste of $100! Check to see if your drum has play in it. If so your washing machine is trashed because the repair cost more than it's worth.

I would suggest contacting the manufacturer. One of the few design issues I have is the way the handle works, it's too easy for it to catch when I'm rotating the drum forward. Fortunately I've been careful and haven't had a handle break.
