    							Troubleshooting and routine maintenance73
    dWhen you find the substance on the 
    drum surface that matches the print 
    sample, gently dab the surface of the 
    OPC drum with a cotton swab that is 
    lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
     
    CAUTION 
    The OPC drum is photosensitive so do not 
    touch it with your fingers.
      Do not use a scrubbing or wiping motion 
    because this might damage the drum.
      DO NOT clean the surface of the OPC 
    drum with a sharp object, such as a ball-
    point pen, because this might cause 
    permanent damage to the drum unit.
     
    Replacing the toner cartridge 
    (TN-550/TN-580)C
    The TN-580 toner cartridge can print 
    approximately 7,000 pages using a high yield 
    toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is 
    running low, the LCD shows Toner Low. 
    The machine is supplied with a standard 
    TN-550 toner cartridge that must be replaced 
    after approximately 3,500 pages. 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. Be sure to seal up the toner 
    cartridge tightly so that 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 corona wire of the drum unit when you 
    replace the toner cartridge. (See  Cleaning the 
    laser scanner window  on page 70 and 
    Cleaning the corona wire  on page 71.)

    bHold down the lock lever on the right and 
    take the toner cartridge out of the drum 
    unit.
     
    WARNING 
    DO NOT put a toner cartridge into a fire. It 
    could explode, resulting in injuries.
     
     
    						
    							Troubleshooting and routine maintenance75
    CAUTION 
    Put 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, wipe or 
    wash it off with cold water at once.
     
    CAUTION 
    Brother strongly recommends that you do 
    not refill the toner cartridge provided with 
    your machine. We also strongly 
    recommend that you continue to use only 
    Genuine Brother Brand replacement toner 
    cartridges ( TN-550/TN-580 ). Use or 
    attempted use of potentially incompatible 
    toner and/or cartridges in the Brother 
    machine may cause damage to the 
    machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory 
    print quality. Our warranty coverage does 
    not apply to any problem that is caused by 
    the use of unauthorized third party toner 
    and/or cartridges. To protect your 
    investment and obtain premium 
    performance from the Brother machine, we 
    strongly recommend the use of Genuine 
    Brother Supplies.
      Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until 
    immediately before you put it in the 
    machine. If a toner cartridge is left 
    unpacked for a long time, the toner life will 
    be shortened.
       
    DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in 
    the illustrations to prevent any degradation 
    to the print quality.
     
    cUnpack the new toner cartridge. Put the 
    used toner cartridge into the aluminum 
    bag and discard it according to local 
    regulations.
    dGently rock the toner cartridge from side 
    to side five or six times to spread the 
    toner evenly inside the cartridge.
     
    ePull off the protective cover.  
    fPut the new toner cartridge firmly into 
    the drum unit until you hear it lock into 
    place. If you put it in properly, the lock 
    lever will lift automatically.
     
     
    						
    							76
    gClean the primary corona wire inside the 
    drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab 
    from left to right and right to left several 
    times. Be sure to return the blue tab to 
    the home position (b).
    hPut the drum unit and toner cartridge 
    assembly back in the machine.
    iClose the front cover.
    Replacing the drum unit 
    (DR-520)C
    The machine uses a drum unit to create print 
    images on paper. If the LCD shows  Drum 
    Near End , the drum unit is near the end of its 
    life and it is time to buy a new one.
    Even if the LCD shows  Drum Near End, 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  Drum 
    Near End 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 70.)
    CAUTION 
    While removing the drum unit, handle it 
    carefully because it may contain toner. If 
    toner scatters on your hands or clothes, 
    wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
     
    Note
    The drum unit is a consumable item, 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 how much 
    toner you use for the number of pages per 
    print job. The estimated drum life is 
    approximately 25,000 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.
