Double print or a shadow print

Hello, I have an BROTHER INTELLIFAX 2820 and I get what looks like a shadow (double) print). I've changed the toner cartridge and I get the same problem. I've cleaned everything very well. I found that when I used a new drum (where the toner cartridge goes into) it works fine! My question is--- How can I fix the drum so that stops? Also, what can i use to clean it safely? thanks, Dave

You have probably been using non genuine toner, some kinds of this toner is not the same quality as Brother toner and just chews you drum out before its due to be changed. Change the drum and use genuine toner.

Unfortunately your drum unit is shot. The mechanism that cleans excess toner from the drum surface is worn out or has developed a problem. The materials needed to repair are generally not available. If this is happening then the surface of the drum is probably near the end of its usable life anyway. Save yourself a lot of grief and aggravation. Bite the bullet and buy a new drum unit. Office Depot, Staples, etc. usually offer them at about $105.

When I go to print or copy the machine makes a loud clicking noise and then says paper jam. Brother MFC - 8460 N

Hello,
The loud clicking noise is either the toner cartridge or the paper feed. If the jam occurs in the drum and toner cartridge then I recommend changing the toner.
If the paper is not being fed at all then you need to have the paper feed kit replaced.
Thanks,
Pat

When I print using my Brother intellifax 2820 from the web

Try to print a report. If the problem persists the toner unit is not fitted correctly. Take out the complete unit of the drum and the toner and match them properly. GOOD LUCK.
