Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Installing: open the front cover, remove the toner cartridge, then pull out the old drum. Unpack the new drum, remove its protective sheet without touching the green drum surface, slide it in, reinstall the toner and close the cover.

Drum messages: if the machine still reports the drum near end of life, reset the drum counter from the menu or service mode as described in your manual. Keep the drum out of bright light.

Drum vs. toner: this is the drum only. It lasts through several TN322, TN513, TN321K or TN512K toner cartridges. Color machines also need the separate DR512 color drums.

Compatible vs. Original Drum Units

Original (OEM) drums are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Compatible drums, like this one, are newly manufactured by a third party to the original's size and page-life specifications, so they drop into the same slot at a much lower price. Castle Ink sells compatible (newly manufactured) toner and drums and remanufactured inkjet cartridges.

About 120,000 pages. It usually lasts through several toner cartridges.

Is toner included?

Will this void my printer warranty?

No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.

Keep the drum sealed in its light-proof bag at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, until you install it.
