- How long does the drum last?
- Brother rates it for about 25,000 pages. Real life depends on paper type and how much toner you use, and many owners get close to the rating.
- Do I need a new toner cartridge too?
- Only if your toner is low. The drum and toner are separate parts, so you can replace just the drum when print quality drops.
- How do I know the drum needs replacing?
- Faint print, repeating spots, streaks or a gray background usually mean the drum is worn. The printer may also show a drum-end message.
- Is a genuine Brother drum better than a third-party one?
- Genuine units match Brother's specs and are the safer bet for consistent output. Third-party drums cost less but vary more in quality.
