I have a HL5470DWT and after a year it displayed that it was time to replace drum. I bought DR720, now pages print light on both sides, what is wrong?

Might be bad Drum or Non OEM Drum. You might need tonier . Hard to say with out see the machine. Have service tec look at the machine.

printing light is usually a signal that the toner is low and has to be changes

It's probably the drum that needs to be cleaned. Every printer is different so you may want to ask a repair shop or Yahoo/Google it on how to do it? Edit: You also have to clean the "corona wire" on the cartridge, just slide the tab across the wire several times, every time you replace the cartridge or when streaks happen from what i've read also.

According to the BASIC User's Manual the HL-2280DW printer uses the DR420 drum unit

You should have gotten a message to replace the drum (in the window of the printer) I usually remove the drum and the ink cartridge, shake it from right to left (to distribute the powder/toner), replace the drum and the cartridge, print a page. If the page is still fading, then you need to replace the toner (usually, not the drum).

Brother lazer printers have several models that require different drums for each model.Look on top of printer or inside for correct drum.

I found it very simple and easy to replace the drum. You just take out the old one and plug in the new. Not sure why your printer is printing dull gray pages. may have other problems besides the drum.

Hi there John C. I have the MFC 9320cw an older model and I had to replace about 2 drums but it only comes in a pack of 4. I purchased mine right here on Amazon. It was sold in a pack of 4. I couldn't buy it separately. Have a Blessed Day!! JT

We replaced our drum in our MFC-9970CDW and it works fine. You had a typo, maybe that was the issue? ("CWD" vs "CDW").

I assume you know that the toner cartridge is distinct from the Drum, and that the drum lasts about 4 toner cartridges. The 1.5" patern does reflect the circumference of the toner cartridge roller (how 'bout that 2 Pi r?), so if your drum isn't old, then I'd guess you're right that it's a bad toner cartridge--I've never had one bleed, and my drum is going on 10,000 pages (well past the 8500 page rated life).

Either the cartridge is defective or you need to clean the printer carefully. It is odd, because if the cartridge is defective, then it would happen on all the pages. Did you put the old cartridge back in to test printer?

I suppose you have to buy new cartridges. I hope you like your printer better than I like mine. Mine sounds like a truck starting up when I use it.

Did you clean the wire? There should have been instructions with your toner and there's a wire that goes across the drum. The wire has a little clip on one end and you need to run the clip back and forth across the wire a few times to clean it. Also, did you gently shake the new cartridge from side to side before installing it? If you did all this and it's still leaving streaks, it might be time for a drum replacement.

I'm not quite sure I know what you mean. If you've put in new print heads then you want to go to tools and run an alignment check. You MUST be sure the print heads are in correctly. I suggest you get out the owner's manual and double check the installation. If the print heads are NOT in correctly, you can do serious damage to your printer. I hope this is the information you want.

Did you physically damage the drum pad or did it just stop working? If it just stopped working the piezo trigger switch inside may have just come loose from the pad. It is held in place by a piece of tape. Open it up and retape. Now if the pad itself is damaged I would start by contacting Medeli: http://www.medeli.com.hk/?page=contactus

It says to replace the drum for a long time then it won't go until you replace it. That's when I replace it. And you can reset drum on the menu. But I've heard if you let the drum go too long you will be buying a printer...

I gave the printer a good review and I am still happy. I did have a paper jam problem a month ago and there was a piece of torn paper in the back of the paper tray. I would suggest you call the customer service and they will go with you step by step to look for the problem. If nothing is found, they will give you the closest repair shop (Brother pays if under warranty). Hope it works out but maybe you got a lemon.

No, not at all. My printer has been working GREAT since the swap out. there are instruction on the machine and youtube videos on this. I thought about buying a new printer since replacing them would cost so much but I am glad I didn't. this is a real good all-in-one and worth the money to change them. Hope this helps...
