Replacing the drum unit
The MFC 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 purchase a new one (DR-3000).
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 MFC when you 
replace the drum unit. (See Cleaning the drum unit
 on page 12-24.)
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 MFC, some internal parts of the MFC 
are extremely HOT! So, never touch the shaded parts shown in the 
illustration.
HOT!
