Brand: Brother Compatible
Manufacturer’s Code: IBDR2415
Product Details: Brother Compatible DR2415 Imaging Drum Unit. Third-party manufactured to provide outstanding print quality at a more economical cost per page.
Brother laser printers use two separate components: a toner cartridge and a drum unit. The toner cartridge holds the powder that creates your text and images, while the drum unit transfers that toner onto the paper.
Your printer will display a “Replace Drum” message when it’s time to change the printer drum.
If the drum unit isn’t replaced when needed, print quality will start to decline – even if you’re using a brand-new toner cartridge. You might notice issues like faded or blurry prints, black or coloured spots, smeared toner, or thin vertical lines on your pages.
As a general rule, you’ll need to replace the drum unit after using 3 to 4 toner cartridges.

Things to Consider with Compatibles
If you’re considering using compatible cartridges, here are some key points to keep in mind:
Warranty
Using non-genuine consumables may void your printer’s warranty. To avoid potential issues, we recommend waiting until your printer’s warranty period has expired before using compatible products.
Printer Firmware Updates
Printer manufacturers make significant profits from genuine cartridges. Consequently, printer manufacturers (notably Canon and HP) release automatic firmware updates designed to block the use of compatible inks and toners by preventing printers from recognising non-genuine cartridges.
This practice is often criticised as unfair since it limits consumer choice. Imagine buying a car and being told you can only use one specific brand of fuel—this is a similar situation.
The good news is that manufacturers of the compatible cartridges we sell quickly respond to these updates. They update their cartridge chips to ensure compatibility with the latest firmware, so you can continue using compatible cartridges without any problems.
TIP – How to Stay Compatible
To prevent future firmware updates from affecting the compatible cartridges you’ve already purchased, we strongly recommend disabling automatic firmware updates on your printer.
Firmware update settings are typically located in the “Settings” or “Maintenance” menu of your printer. For printer-specific instructions:
- Check your user manual, or
- Search online for your printer model along with “turn off auto updates.”
In most cases, disabling updates is quick and simple.
