Brother DCP1200 manual Cleaning the Drum Unit, Replacing the Toner Cartridge

Cleaning the Drum Unit

We recommend placing the drum unit on a drop cloth or large disposable paper to avoid spilling and scattering toner.

1Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left several times.

2Return the blue tab to the home position (▼) and snap it into place.

3Re-install the drum unit into the machine. (See Replacing the Drum Unit on page 11-17.)

4Close the front cover.

5Plug in the power cord first, then the telephone cord.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

The machine can print up to 6,000 pages using a high yeild toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is running low, the display shows TONER LOW. The machine is supplied with a standard toner cartridge that must be replaced after approximately 3,000 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average document type (i.e., standard letter, detailed graphics).

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. If you are not sure of them, consult your local Sanitation Department. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. When discarding used toner cartridges, keep them separate from domestic garbage.

We recommend that you clean the machine when you replace the toner cartridge.
