Drum Life Considerations for Your Brother Machine Your Brother machine uses a drum and toner assembly for document printing. The toner life is directly dependent upon the amount of black printing on the printed pages. The drum will last for 77 hours of continuous printing time, which in normal use will be up to 20,000 A4 sized pages.
When removing the drum unit, handle carefully because it contains toner. When you replace the drum unit, you should clean the machine. For best performance, use only genuine Brother drum unit, and the product should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.
