Brother DR-510 Drum Unit - How do I clear the message Change Drum Soon from the display

The message "Change Drum Soon" will appear on the LCD display when the drum unit is nearing the end of it's life or the drum counter was not reset after replacing the drum.


If the drum unit was not replaced order a replacement drum (DR510) and use the drum until you have a print quality problem; then replace the drum unit with a new one as follows:

1. Press the cover release button and then open the front cover.
2. Remove the old drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. Place it on a drop cloth or disposable paper to avoid scattering toner.
3. Hold down the lock lever on the right and pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit.
4. Wait to unpack the new drum unit until immediately before installing it. Place the old drum unit into the plastic bag and discard it according to local regulations.
5. Reinstall the toner cartridge into the new drum unit.
6. Reinstall the new drum unit, keeping the front cover open.
7. Press Clear/Back.
8. Press 1 and when the LCD shows Accepted, and close the front cover.

If the drum unit was previously replaced and the drum counter was not reset perform the reset procedure as follows:

1. Open the front cover, and then press Clear/Back.
2. Press 1 and when the LCD shows Accepted, and close the front cover.
