Product Information
Full details
The ValueX remanufactured DR2300 drum unit (WX650177) is designed for budget-conscious office and home users who require consistent, high-quality printing without the premium cost of original manufacturer hardware. It offers a reliable alternative for a wide range of Brother laser printers, supporting both standard document printing and more demanding multi-page tasks. While it serves as an excellent sustainable solution, users should note that it is a drum unit only and does not include the toner cartridge, which must be installed separately for the printer to function.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the drum unit, first power off the printer and open the front cover. Remove the existing toner and drum assembly. Carefully separate the old toner cartridge from the drum and slot it into the new ValueX DR2300 unit. Once clicked into place, slide the drum cleaning tab back and forth a few times to ensure the primary corona wire is clean. For maintenance, avoid touching the green or blue drum surface with your fingers, as oils from the skin can affect print quality. Always store unused units in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
