Description
The Brother DR-2530 compatible drum unit from Smart Ink delivers reliable, consistent mono laser printing with a yield of up to 15,000 pages. It is a cost-effective replacement drum for a wide range of Brother HL, DCP and MFC printers.
Drum only – not toner. This product is a drum unit and does not contain toner. To print, you also need a separate toner cartridge: a TN-2530 or TN-2530XL toner cartridge.
When should you replace the drum?
The drum gradually wears with use. Your Brother printer will usually display a "Replace Drum" message when the drum is near the end of its life. You may also notice lines, marks, smudges, spots or faded pages on your printouts. When this happens, fitting a fresh DR-2530 drum unit restores clean, sharp print quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a drum and toner?
Toner is the powder that forms the text and images on the page, while the drum is the imaging unit that transfers the toner onto the paper. The drum lasts much longer than a toner cartridge and is replaced less often.
Does the DR-2530 include toner?
No. The DR-2530 is a drum unit only and does not contain toner. You need a separate TN-2530 or TN-2530XL toner cartridge to print.
When should I replace the drum?
Replace the drum when your printer shows a "Replace Drum" message, or when you see persistent lines, marks or faded pages that a new toner cartridge does not fix.
How many pages does the DR-2530 last?
The DR-2530 drum unit yields up to 15,000 pages, based on standard print coverage. Actual yield varies with usage.
Which printers use the Brother DR-2530?
It fits Brother DCP-L2640DW, HL-L2400DW, HL-L2445DW, HL-L2460DW, HL-L2460DWXL, HL-L2464DW, HL-L2480DW, MFC-L2800DW, MFC-L2820DW, MFC-L2880DW, MFC-L2880DWXL and MFC-L2920DW.
