Questions & Answers

According to the listing, this is a four-piece drum set. Are you saying I will receive all 4 drums (3 colors and 1 black) for the advertised price?

The drum and toner cartridges are separate pieces of equipment and I think you're confusing them.

Is this genuine brother product or not? If so, why is there conflicting reviews and questions/answers regarding the authenticity of the product?

The product was manufactured by Brother as an OEM/GENUINE product A couple of 221CL Drum Unit Sets

How does the rated page yield compare to the volume ?

Since the Brother Genuine parts seem to hold the same page yield (though even the refurbished or compatible units have the same yield), the unit will work out of the box after being used for It's always 15 000, regardless of whether it's genuine or not, no matter how many websites I check.

In the 15000 yield, are there individual or combined yields?

It is my understanding that each toner cartridge has a "drum." The drum needs to be replaced every so often, but not the toner. Accordingly, I'm reading it The printer I own has been running for more than a year and I have never had to replace it.

Replacement Drums for the Brother 3170CDW printer
5/5

OEM product. As a result of the LED on my printer constantly flashing 'Replace Drums' one day, I needed to swap out the drums after it became useless (I could Replacing old drums is very easy. If you are interested in doing so, please note In spite of having replaced a drum with a new drum, you STILL have to RESET the drums. If you replace the drums, you may still see the message "Replace Drums" on the LED panel. You can reset the drums using the printer panel by pressing the up & down buttons Use the down arrow The Brother company has this procedure documented on their website.

On the 9330CDW, the drum issue has been resolved
4/5

This item worked like a charm, completely fixing the drum error messages that had been becoming more and more irritating. Since I have only had the unit for a few days, I give it a 4 out of 5 As well, the brother printer's error message wasn't very clear about what the problem was, nor were they keeping track of drum life. However, we print a lot so it's certainly possible that we went through 15,000 pages on the original drums. The problem was fixed, so it did act as a solution. As of now, I gave it four stars. I am

I was not successful in getting those I purchased
3/5

There is still an error message telling me there is a problem with the drum unit, so I am giving this one star. Having replaced the ink cartridges in the past, my copies look as if they need to be copied rather than copied. I will order one more time to keep the benefit of the doubt for Brother. The bottom line is that I am not pleased with this product at all.

Drum kit with one of each color, genuine Brother
5/5

The steps to follow after you apply for the September 29th Main are The 25/Subject Our HL-5 has been updated to firmware version 05 As it turns out, we've been receiving quite a few Drums for the 3170CDW printer. It seems like there are errors before or after In some cases, it may be enough to open and close the top cover 5 to clear the error When it happened 6 times, it was a real pain in the neck. It is too bad that the existing drums only have a 50% usage rate right now, but I decided to go with the kit so I can no longer have a continuous drum! An error occurred. Taking care to follow the instructions in the documents provided, and doing one color at a time, as well as marking the individual packages, was very simple. All four of them were printed, then the printer went through a number of processes internally, but after a few seconds There was a Ready prompt after three minutes. We have since printed a number of jobs and have no longer received the Drum! I went through the process of resetting the drum counter for each color and ran a manual color calibration test. An error occurred. When I mentioned this issue to Brother, they refused to help me since the printer was out of warranty. Since I believed it had everything to do with the firmware, I believed they could do nothing for me. In the time it has taken me to write this review, I saw that Brother posted a new firmware, but I will probably avoid it for quite a while.

I really like how well they work! It turned out that I was mistaken
5/5

The drums did not register with the printer once they were inserted. In other words, it keeps telling me I have to change drums. At this point, the drums are working, and being reminded to do so is just a hassle. Although I am unsure whether the same thing could happen to me at some point, as My mistake would have been to just start over with a new printer if I had known this would happen. You are starting off with a brand new printer, so it is nominal to defer a price. My Brother printer has been a pleasure to use overall, though! Due to the fact that they aren't communicating with the printer when they are replaced, I have my doubts about their authenticity. Announcing an update! I apologize for the mistake! Error on the part of the user! This surprises me. I had no idea you had to reset the reminder on the drums manually. Since then, I have done this and everything is fine! My attempt will be to change it to 5 stars if it allows me to change the Despite my belief that I had been taken advantage of, I had been the one who made that mistake!.

Upon purchasing this item, you will receive four replacement drums in ten minute intervals
5/5

I ordered this drum to replace a Magenta Drum that was smearing the left edge of every print job that had Ideally, you should clean the drum wire on current drums before buying a new one. If this does not work, you can clean the surface of your drum with an alcohol wipe. You will have to replace the drum if that does not work. The price of this item seemed excessive to me when I ordered it It is only upon arrival that we find out you get four drums. So, now that I know, when a drum goes out, I am ready. It will happen at some point, I'm sure. This is an easy to install software.

It has been a difficult experience so I am writing a review
3/5

I rarely do so, but in this case I felt the review was warranted. A genuine set of rollers and toner was purchased for I was happy with the results for about a month, then the yellow started striping. I've tried the regular cleaning, but it doesn't work. After spending hours on the phone with customer support, we contacted them again. providing them all the information and documentation that they asked for, they often keep you running in circles, trying to find the answers yourself. You would think that for the price they charge, their replacement policy would be straightforward, but it's not. They will only honor their products for 90 days after the date of purchase. Countdown to today. As a result of the 1990s Unfortunately, you won't be able to do anything in the 30-day period. Pre-90-day period is when we start the process of providing customer support It has been days since we had those problems, and now they don't care anymore. Simply buy generic rollers and toner. This will save you money. The Brother brand used to be my favorite, but no more. I will switch to HP and will continue to do business with them.

PRINT QUALITY IS HORRIBLE YOU SHOULD ONLY BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO MAKE YOUR PRINTER UNUSEFUL
3/5

We are angry at having been taken advantage of. Previously our printer kept telling us to "change the drum. " We decided to install the new equipment, allegedly Original Equipment Manufacturer. A new OEM drum has been purchased and installed. Compared to the old drum, the print quality went from being marginally acceptable to being completely crap after the new drum was installed The page is unbalanced in terms of color saturation, and there are lines throughout the document. The printer used to be our temporary signage printer, but now the quality is so horrific it is not even usable to create internal documents, because the text doesn't even come out clear. The printer was previously used to print temporary signage for our business.
