Last Updated 6 years ago
The error message "Change Drum Soon/Drum end soon" will continue to appear if the drum counter was not reset when you replace the drum unit. To clear this error message, you need to reset the drum counter as instructed below.
1. Make sure that the machine is turned on.
2. Open the front cover
3. Press Options or Press Clear or Clear/Back on the control panel. If your Brother machine has a numeric keypad: Press 1 to reset the drum counter. If your Brother machine doesn't have a numeric keypad: Press the Up Arrow Key to reset the drum counter.
