Review on ๐Ÿ”„ Brother BU-100CL Belt Unit: The Perfect Replacement for HL-4040CN and HL-4070CDW Series - Retail Packaging by Kyle Rose

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Required spare part; Easy to buy and easy to install

A defective ribbon assembly can result in a minor cleaning inside your printer, so changing the ribbon cartridge is a good idea. Replacing the belt cartridge in the Brother HL4040CDN duplex color laser printer is easy. With the power off, open the front of the printer as if changing the toner. Pull the photoconductor out until it stops. Take out the drum unit and place it on clean paper on a table. Lift up the old belt unit. It climbs out of this green tab on the front of the seat belt. It only weighs a few pounds, making it easy to pick up and remove from the printer. The exchange takes place in reverse order. Note. When you replace the waste toner box, it is located just below the ribbon cartridge and it is just one more step to replacing. I swapped out the extra toner box when I changed the ribbon at the same time because that should have been on the way too. After that, the instructions helped me to complete the procedure of resetting the belt cartridge counter from the printer's menu. The process of replacing both took a total of 9 minutes. Priced through Revain (with shipping) is about $25 less than buying from your local office depot. Years. We're on the original drum. There is no toning and no dots or streaks appear in the image. The drum is doing well so far. The ordering process at Revain was easy. The order was processed the next day. And the delivery took 2 days - to Hawaii. And we opted for Super Saver Shipping which was free. 21 months later, the printer advised us to replace the ribbon unit again. $94 cool; However, after reading about a few other cases of broken belts, it might be wise to replace them. I was able to increase usage by about 30,000 pages. Maybe that's worth considering. While the cost of toner is strictly 1.5 cents per page when we use it, the extra costs add up. So inkjet printing can be more expensive; These new HP full-page ink cartridges can be priced competitively because inkjet printers have far fewer consumable parts compared to their laser counterparts. Your mileage may vary.
