The Brother drum unit is a separate consumable that typically should be replaced after the use of 3 or 4 toner cartridges.  If you own a Brother laser printer and you are getting a "Replace Drum" message on your machine's display, it might be time to get a new drum.  Your printer uses a page counter to track usage, which must manually be reset every time a new drum unit is installed.  Replacement instructions vary depending on what printer model you have. Check your printer's user guide for specific replacement instructions for your machine.  These can be accessed on Brother’s website.  Here, we provide replacement and reset instructions for the Brother HL-L2350DW.  This printer works with Brother TN-730 and TN-760 toner cartridges and the DR-730 drum unit.   If you are in need of a new drum, you can save money with the LD-brand compatible DR-30 drum [here](https://www.ldproducts.com/Compatible-Brother-DR730-Drum.html?xid=tmd:blog:pdp&utm_medium=blog&utm_source=ldhelpcenter&utm_campaign=brotherdr730hc:ByAH7FJ8D).
