The DR-630 drum unit within a Brother MFC-L2720DW printer is an essential component that collaborates with the toner cartridge to transfer toner onto paper. Due to the repetitive printing process, the drum can experience wear over time and typically requires replacement after using 3 or 4 toner cartridges. If your Brother laser printer displays the "Replace Drum" message, it signals the need for a new drum. The printer utilizes a page counter to monitor usage, necessitating manual reset after each new toner cartridge installation. Replacement procedures differ by printer model, and specific instructions can be found in your printer's user guide, accessible on the Brother website. For the Brother MFC-L2720DW, we offer replacement and reset guidelines below. This printer works with Brother TN-660 toner cartridges and the DR-630 drum unit.
