Brother Change Drum Soon Message Reset

 

Brother change drum soon message Reset

One of the most common complaints or messages I see is the change drum soon message on Brother  printer, copier, fax, and MFC machines.  Over a third of the Brother machines I work on have  the change drum  soon message on the display and the customer has no idea how to  reset it. They just install a new drum and the message doesn’t go away but it doesn’t affect the  printer, copier, fax, or MFC  so they just go on with life. Most people believe that when they put a new drum in the machine the message should reset like the toner message. However, that’s not the case.

In order to reset the change drum soon message you need to open the front door and press the clear button, option button on smaller models like the 7000 series which don’t have the clear button. Once, the button is pressed with the door open it will ask you if you have a new drum. 1 for Yes 2 for No. Press 1 and  the  change drum soon message should reset.

Most Brother drums last between 15,000 to 25,000 copies or prints until you get the change drum soon message. I never have seen a machine not work because the message was displayed. Typically Brother drums, if using OEM  toner cartridges, last much longer than what they are  rated for. I always tell my customers to order in a new drum when you see the message but I wouldn’t install it till the print quality starts to decline or on smaller models like the 2820, 2910, and 2920 if you get a drum error message. Hope that has helped you solve your change drum soon message reset on your Brother machines.
