The toner cartridge holds the powder; the drum is the photosensitive cylinder the toner is laid onto before it transfers to the page. They are separate parts on separate replacement schedules, and a laser printer needs both. This is a drum for an older Brother mono laser generation. Brother Australia still lists and prices the drum, but it has removed those printer models from its website, so there is no current Brother-published compatibility list for us to reproduce. Rather than guess at one, we would rather you told us your printer model and we confirmed the fit before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrother rates this drum at up to 25,000 pages. Unusually for its range, Brother publishes that figure without stating the pages-per-job basis it was measured at, so we quote the number as Brother gives it and do not add a qualifier of our own. Drum life is driven by how many times the drum cycles rather than purely by sheets printed, so a workload of long documents will get further than the same number of pages printed one sheet at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTelling the drum apart from the toner is the question we get asked most. Faded or washed-out print usually means toner. Marks, bands or ghosting that repeat at a regular interval down every page usually mean the drum. The printer also tracks drum life separately from toner level and will prompt you when the drum is due. A genuine Brother drum holds the imaging geometry the printer was built around, which is what keeps streaks, ghosting and misregistration out of the output. Replacement is an end-user job - the old unit comes out the front and the new one goes in, with no tools and no service call.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brother","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50552339988736,"sku":"DSDR-3215","price":300.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/5419\/8784\/files\/BROTHER_DR-3215_ORIGINAL_DRUM_UNIT_-_25000_PAGES__41721.1563006827.500.750.jpg?v=1791399358","url":"https:\/\/megaschoolsupplies.com.au\/products\/brother-dr-3215-original-drum-unit-25000-pages","provider":"Mega School Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
