Replacing the toner cartridge 
(TN-2000)
The toner cartridge can print  up to 2,500 
pages. When the toner cartridge is running 
low, the LCD shows 
Toner Low. Actual page 
count will vary depending on your average 
type of document (i.e., standard letter, 
detailed graphics).
Note
It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge 
ready for use when you see the 
Toner Low 
warning.
Discard the used toner cartridge according to 
local regulations, keeping it separate from 
domestic waste. You can also check our 
ecology website www.brothergreen.co.uk
 for 
recycling information. Be sure to seal the 
toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does 
not spill out of the cartridge. If you have 
questions, call your local waste disposal 
office. 
We recommend that you clean the machine 
and drum unit when you replace the toner 
cartridge. (See  Cleaning the laser scanner 
window  on page 6-18 and  Cleaning the 
corona wire  on page 6-19.)
How to replace the toner 
cartridge
1Open the front cover and pull out the 
drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. 
WARNING
Just after you use the machine, some 
internal parts of the machine will be 
extremely  HOT! Never touch the shaded 
parts shown in the illustration.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the machine from 
static electricity, do not touch the

2Hold down the lock lever on the left and 
pull the toner cartridge out of the drum 
unit.
3Unpack the new toner cartridge. Place 
the used toner cartridge into the 
aluminium bag and discard it according 
to local regulations.
CAUTION
■Place the drum unit on a drop cloth or 
large piece of disposable paper to 
avoid spilling and scattering the toner.
■Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If 
toner scatters on your hands or 
clothes, immediately wipe it off or wash 
it with cold water.
CAUTION
■Brother printers are designed to work 
with toner of a particular specification 
and work to a level of optimum 
performance when used with genuine 
Brother toner cartridges (TN-2000). 
Brother cannot guarantee this optimum 
performance if toner or toner cartridges 
of other specifications are used. 
Brother does not therefore recommend 
the use of cartridges other than Brother 
cartridges with this printer, or the 
refilling of empty cartridges with toner 
from other sources. If damage is 
caused to the drum unit or other part of 
this machine as a result of the use of 
toner or toner cartridges other than 
genuine Brother products due to the 
incompatibility or lack of suitability of 
those products with this machine, any 
repairs required as a result may not be 
covered by the warranty.
■Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until 
immediately before you install it in the 
machine. If a toner cartridge is left 
unpacked for a long period of time, the 
toner life is shortened.

from right to left several times. Return 
the blue tab to the Home position (
▼) 
before reinstalling the drum unit and 
toner cartridge assembly.
8Install the drum unit and toner cartridge 
assembly into the machine.
9Close the front cover.
CAUTION
Do not touch the shaded parts shown in 
the illustrations to prevent any degradation 
to the print quality.

Replacing the drum unit 
(DR-2000)
The machine 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 buy 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 machine when you replace the 
drum unit. (See  Cleaning the laser scanner 
window  on page 6-18.)
Note
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is 
necessary to replace it periodically. There are 
many factors that determine the drum life, 
such as temperature, humidity, type of paper 
and how much toner you use for the number 
of pages per print job. The estimated drum life 
is up to  12,000 pages. 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.
1Open the front cover and pull out the 
drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
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.
WARNING
Just after you have used the machine, 
some internal parts of the machine are 
extremely  HOT! So please be careful.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the printer from 
static electricity, do not touch the 
electrodes shown below.
