How to Reset the Brother DR-420 Drum

The reset procedure varies depending on your Brother printer model. Choose the method below that corresponds to your printer.
Option 1: Brother MFC Printers
This procedure applies to Brother models using the DR-420 drum, including the MFC-7360N, MFC-7460DN and MFC-7860DW.
- Open the front cover of the printer.
- Press the Clear or Back button.

- When “Accepted” appears on the display, close the front cover.
The DR-420 drum counter should now be reset.
