When you replace the drum unit in your Brother printer, you might expect it to work flawlessly right away. But many users are surprised to still see a “Replace Drum” or “Drum End Soon” message even after installing a new one. That’s because Brother printers use a page count system to track drum life—not the actual condition of the drum. Until you reset the drum counter, the printer continues to assume you’re using the old unit.

Resetting the drum unit is a quick and essential step. It tells your printer that a fresh drum has been installed, clears old error messages, and ensures optimal printing performance. Skipping the reset can result in poor print quality, unnecessary warnings, and even early wear on the new drum.

This step is especially crucial when using compatible drum units—like those offered by Best Ink—which are engineered to deliver reliable performance at a better price.

To reset, simply open the front cover, press “Clear” or “Options,” and confirm the reset when prompted.

• Avoid confusion
• Maximize drum life
• Keep your prints clean and sharp

Always reset after replacement — and enjoy smooth, uninterrupted printing.
