Indicator Light "Error" orange Brother printer

Home >> Help >> Indicator Light "Error" orange Brother printer

Error light lit or flashing

The orange light on the printer is on or flashing (solution)

On some printers Brother can find several indicative of light that inform us about the status of the printer. Usually they have a light on and off, to see if the printer is on; and another of an error, which may indicate an internal problem that must be overcome.

Depending on the problem you have the printer and printer model, light can indicate one thing or another.

Printers indicators "DRUM" and "Error"

In case you have a printer with an LED indicator that says "DRUM" and another indicator that says "Error". The meanings of the lights are different:

Light "Drum" and flashing light "Ready" in green.

If the drum lights or turn on the printer and then suddenly starts blinking orange light "Drum" this means that the drum is running out and therefore have to change soon.

If you have installed a new drum, this may have occurred will not reset the counter of the drum unit. Check out the post on how to reset the counter drum Brother printers.

Light "Drum" permanently lit and light "Ready" in green.

If the drum light is on permanently, that is that the drum has reached its end of life and you have to change it to continue printing.

It may have happened that, when installing a new drum, have not reset the drum counter, so you'll have to reset the printer to detect it as new drum.

Light "Drum" light on and "Error" in orange.

If both lights are on, it indicates a lock drum. In these cases, we recommend reinstalling the drum again and restart the counter of the printer to clear the error.

Printers with a single indicator light (!)

This is the simplest case of printers having only two indicator lights.

Error light "(!)" Flashes 3 times and off for one second

The lights pattern indicates the end of life of the drum soon or you have to replace it because it is already exhausted.

In case you have recently changed the drum and flashing light appears you'll have to tell the printer that you have changed the drum for a new one so you have to reset the counter.

Tips drum printer

Laser printer drum

Here we present some questions that we normally do those who have a printer drum.

As we explained in a previous post, the drum is known by several names: drum imaging unit, drum ... It is a very delicate piece of laser printers is perishing with use.

The drum is responsible for transferring the toner powder to the paper, so sometimes when the drum is dirty, defective or is running out, can get out dirty or dark background prints.

Let's answer some questions we can get to do when we have a laser printer.

If I clean the drum I can avoid change?

The drum has a certain life since the use is perishing. As much as you clean it with a cloth ... if the drum is exhausted, there is nothing to do :-(

Is it better to independent drum or integrated with the toner?

It is a question that many people do and ... there is no clear answer. It all depends on the use you are going to give to the printer.

If you go to print a few copies a year, it is best to buy a printer with separate drum, and the drum will wear less and will last much more than the toner, so that the parts will come out cheaper.

But if you'll give much cane to the printer, ie going to print daily a fairly high volume, it is better than the drum will already integrated with the toner, since it is you wear before and eventually, out cheaper toner drum integrated buy a toner + drum.

Can you give light to the drum?

We recommend that the less time the drum is exposed to the best light, to prevent can give us problems.
