Toner cartridges and drum units are the key consumables in all Brother laser printers. Whilst all Brother toner cartridges will identify their estimated toner levels to the printer, the drum units used requires the user to inform the printer when it is changed. If the correct prompt is not given when changing the drum unit it can result in the drum LED continuing to flash even with a new drum installed.
