Frequently Asked Questions

What does this 2-drum and 2-toner set contain?

Two DR830 drum units, each rated at up to 15,000 pages, and two TN830XL cartridges rated at up to 3,000 pages each. It is stock for two complete imaging refreshes — or for two printers — at $79.20, against $134.22 for the same parts bought one by one.

Who buys drums two at a time?

Owners running more than one of these printers, and single-printer offices that plan in years. Two drums cover 30,000 pages of imaging life; paired with the two XL toners in the box and toners bought later, this set removes drums from your restock list for a very long time.

Which printers do the parts fit?

The TN830 platform in full: the DCP-L2640DW, DCP-L2647DW, HL-L2400D, HL-L2405W, HL-L2420DW, HL-L2460DW, HL-L2460DWXL, HL-L2465DW, HL-L2467DW, HL-L2480DW, HL-L2865DW, MFC-L2760DW, MFC-L2807DW, MFC-L2820DW, MFC-L2820DWXL, MFC-L2900DW, MFC-L2900DWXL and MFC-L2980DW.

How would I use the set with two printers?

One drum and one toner per machine — a synchronized refresh across the fleet. Each printer's counters reset independently as its parts are fitted. Identical machines refreshed together also print alike, which shared offices notice in document consistency.

And with a single printer?

The first pair goes in now; the second drum waits sealed as the deepest spare in the cupboard. At 15,000 pages per drum, the spare's turn may be years away — and sealed drums keep, provided they stay in their light-proof packaging, dry and unopened.

How should a spare drum be stored?

In its sealed bag inside the box, flat, dark and dry. The drum's photosensitive surface is the one part in this range that light can harm, so the rule is simple: never open the bag until fitting day, and fit promptly once opened.

What does the set's arithmetic look like?

Two drums at $29.44 and two XLs at $37.67 total $134.22 separately; the set is $79.20. Spread across the toners' 6,000 pages alone, the box is already economical — and the drums' 30,000 pages of capacity make the long-run figure better still.

What happens at each refresh?

The standard routine, twice over the set's life: assembly out, old toner off the old drum, new toner clicked into the new drum, corona tab slid, assembly home, both counters reset from the menu. Nothing about the second refresh differs from the first.

Is this set ever too much stock?

If a printer is near retirement, yes — a second drum outlives the machine it was bought for. Judge by the printer's health and your page volume: at a few thousand pages a year, one drum is a multi-year part, and the 1-drum sets are the proportionate buy.

What cover do the parts carry?

A 1-year warranty on each part and free returns for a full year, per the shipping & returns page. Compatible parts cannot void a printer's warranty under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
