LD Products DR-500 Drum Unit

The LD Products DR-500 is a new compatible laser drum unit engineered for Brother monochrome printers. It replaces the original Brother DR-500 drum assembly and is built with new OPC drums, wiper blades and internal components. This aftermarket unit suits offices and home users who want reliable black-and-white output at a lower cost than the OEM equivalent.

20 000-page yield at ISO 5 % coverage

Rated at 20 000 pages under the ISO/IEC 5 % coverage standard, the drum provides ample headroom for moderate monthly print volumes. It will comfortably handle routine documents, reports and forms, but very high-coverage graphics or continuous heavy print runs will consume the rated life faster. The drum housing is separate from the toner cartridge, so only the TN-560 toner needs replacing between drum changes.

Works with HL-5040, MFC-8820DN and HL-1650N Plus

The unit fits the listed Brother HL and MFC models, letting you keep those printers running without sourcing discontinued OEM drums. Using this compatible drum does not void the printer warranty. Buyers who need colour output, higher page yields or a combined toner-and-drum cartridge should look elsewhere, as this product is a single-colour drum unit only.

Questions about this item

Will this DR-500 drum unit work alongside my existing Brother TN-560 toner cartridge?

Yes, the DR-500 drum housing is designed to accept the TN-560 toner cartridge, so you can keep using your current toner with this new drum unit.

How can I confirm the drum unit is performing correctly after installation?

Print a test page and check for sharp black text at the rated 20000 page yield under ISO/IEC 5% coverage; consistent output without streaks or fading indicates proper operation.

Does the box include a toner cartridge or only the drum unit?

The package contains the compatible DR-500 drum unit only; the Brother TN-560 toner cartridge must be purchased separately.
