Use the button-panel procedure for HL-L3210CW or HL-L3230CDW. There is a separate drum for each color; confirm only the drum you have actually replaced.

Replace the indicated color drum

  1. Keep the printer on. Lift the top cover until it stays open and let hot internal parts cool before handling the assembly.
  2. Remove the toner and drum assembly for the color you are replacing. Rest it on disposable paper.
  3. Release the toner with the green lever. Unwrap the new drum, remove its protective cover and lock the same toner into it.
  4. Slide the green cleaning tabs back and forth, then return every tab to its home arrow. Refit each assembly in the matching color-labeled slot and close the top cover.

Reset the color LCD counter

  1. With the printer on and its cover closed, press OK and the Up arrow together.
  2. Choose Drum with OK.
  3. Select the color of the new drum and press OK. Choose Reset.
  4. Repeat the confirmation only for any other color drum you also replaced.
