Cleaning the corona wire
We recommend placing the drum unit and 
toner cartridge assembly on a cloth or a large 
piece of disposable paper to avoid spilling 
and scattering toner.
1Open the front cover and pull out the 
drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
2Clean the primary corona wire inside the 
drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab 
from right to left several times.
3Return the blue tab and snap it into the 
Home position (

4Reinstall the drum unit and toner 
cartridge assembly in the machine.
5Close the front cover.
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 11-22 and  Cleaning the 
corona wire  on page 11-23.)
CAUTION
If you do not return the blue tab to the 
Home position (
▼), your printed pages 
may have vertical black stripes on them.

4Gently rock the toner cartridge from side 
to side five or six times to distribute the 
toner evenly inside the cartridge.
5Remove the protective cover. 
6Insert the new toner cartridge in the 
drum unit until it clicks into place. If you 
put it in properly, the lock lever will lift 
automatically.
CAUTION
■Brother machines are designed to work 
with toner of a particular specification 
and will work to a level of optimum 
performance when used with genuine 
Brother branded 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 genuine Brother branded 
cartridges with this machine.
■If damage is caused to the drum unit or 
other part of this machine as a result of 
using other manufacter’s 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.
■Do not  touch the shaded parts shown 
in the illustrations to prevent any 
degradation to the print quality.

drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab 
from right to left several times. Return

8Install the drum unit and toner cartridge 
assembly in the machine.

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 11-22.)
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.
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.
