This way you can ensure you get the very most from your drum unit, saving you money in the long run. As a result we always advise continuing to use a drum unit despite the “Drum Near End” message until the quality of your printouts begin to suffer and then installing a new drum unit.

Here at Refresh Cartridges we like to remind our customers that these warning are the result of your printer counting pages and calculating page coverage to estimate how much life is left in the drum and are only an estimate. If however the prompt has been entered incorrectly (or not at all) the “Drum Near End” message will remain, but can be reset by following the relevant steps in this guide. Once this prompt has been given a counter inside the Brother laser printer is reset and the printer will continue for an estimated 25,000 pages. Brother drum units, however, have no means of communicating use to the printer and instead rely upon the printer being told when a drum unit is installed. The toner cartridge has a built in mechanism that indicates to the printer how many pages it has produced in its lifetime so that the printer can estimate how much life remains. If the LCD shows Drum Near End, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is.
