How to reset the Brother DR2400 Drum Counter

How to reset the Brother DR2400 Drum Counter

When installing a new Brother DR2400 drum unit, your Brother laser printer may not automatically detect that the drum has been replaced. As a result, the display can continue to show “Replace Drum”, even after fitting a new unit.

This applies whether you are using a genuine Brother drum or a compatible DR2400 drum. In either case, the printer’s internal drum counter must be manually reset to allow a further estimated 12,000 pages of operation.

The reset procedure is straightforward and works across most compatible Brother laser printer models. However, if the previous drum was used beyond the initial warning before resetting, print quality may begin to decline earlier during the next usage cycle.
