Brother printers necessitate the replacement of
drum units from time to time for producing quality prints. Typically, a laser
printer from Brother brand sends a notification when the lifespan of a drum
unit nears its expiry date. This notification appears in the form of Brother MFC 7340 drum error. The error
may also surface on the screen if the corona wire which is attached to the drum
unit of a Brother printer needs cleaning.
Normally, the error message does not show up on
the screen once a user replaces it. In some cases, it may still show up. If
your Brother printer shows up this problem even after the replacement of the
previous drum unit, here are some troubleshooting steps that you can try out to
fix the problem.
Steps
to fix Brother printer drum error
●
The first step towards fixing
the issue would be to free the corona wiring in the internal portion of the
drum unit from dirt. To do this, first, take out the front cover. Next, take
out the drum unit along with the toner assembly. See whether the toner is
scattered or not. In case it is scattered, keep the drum unit as well as the
toner assembly on a piece of paper.
●
Slide the green tab from one
side to the other by applying gentle pressure. Do this for at least 5-6 times.
●
Make sure the green tab returns
to the far right in its home position. After ensuring that the green tab has
snapped to its home position, put the drum unit as well as the toner assembly
in their respective slots in the machine. Reinstall both the pieces and then
put the front cover in its original position.
Generally, the error message to replace the drum
unit does not appear on the screen after the completion of the aforementioned
steps. If the issue still appears, think about having your printer checked by a
certified technician.
