k Plug the machine’s power cord back into the electrical socket first, and reconnect all cables and the telephone line cord.

Turn on the machine.

Note

DO NOT turn off the machine or open the top cover until the LCD returns to the Ready mode.

IMPORTANT

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.

Drum units

A new drum kit (model no. DR-240CL) can print approximately 15,000 A4 or Letter size single-sided pages. The DR-240CL drum kit contains 4 drum units - 1 Black (DR-240CL-BK) and 3 Color (DR-240CL-CMY). As the drums rotate in unison during the various stages of operation (even if you are only printing in one colour) and because damage to a single drum unit is not likely, you will need to replace all of the drums at once. We have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, therefore we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum. The printer should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation. Drum wear and tear occurs due to use and rotation of the drum and interaction with paper, toner and other materials in the paper path.

When a drum reaches the factory-established rotation limit corresponding to the rated page yield, the product LCD display will advise you to replace the applicable drum(s). The product will continue to function, however, print quality may not be optimal.

Troubleshooting and routine maintenance

Drum End Soon messages

Drums End Soon

If the LCD shows Drums End Soon, it means the drum kit is near the end of its life. Buy a new drum kit (DR-240CL) and have it

ready before you get a Replace Drums C message. To replace the drum units, see Replacing the drum units on page 174.

IMPORTANT

For best performance, use only Genuine Brother drum units and Genuine Brother toner units. Printing with a third-party drum unit or toner unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. Warranty coverage may not apply to problems caused by the use of a third-party drum unit or toner unit.

Note

Drum End Soon(X)

If only a specified drum is near the end of its life, the LCD shows the

Drum End Soon(X) message. (X) indicates the drum unit colour that is near the end of its life. ((K) =Black, (Y)=Yellow, (M)=Magenta, (C)=Cyan). Call your Brother dealer to buy a new drum unit DR-240CL-BK (for Black) or a DR-240CL-CMY (for either Y, M, C colours) and have it ready before you get a Replace Drums message. During the normal lifespan of a drum kit the

Drum End Soon(X) message will not appear. The message will only refer to a specific drum if a single unit has been replaced previously due to damage or error.
