Open the front of the machine.The drum is part of the toner cartridge.

Turn the cartridge upside down. Look at the long cylinder, it should have NO toner dust on it. If it does, the cartridge is bad and must be replaced.

The fax machine is saying remove the drum there is dust on the corona wire.

Use the corona cleaning wire to clean the dust off. Open the front cover. Remove the drum/toner unit. look on the right side of the drum portion above the toner unit for a plastic tab with a triangle arrow that points to the left. Slide this tab back and forth several times. Move the tab back to the right. Reinstall the drum/toner unit. Close the front cover.

Clean the corona wire in this manner every time you change the toner/drum.

We have a Brother TN350 Fax Machine in our office. It tells me that the drum has dust. How do I get to the drum? Should I replace the drum? How?

If you open the access door there should be a blue slider that you can move side-to-side to clean the corona wire.

Dust on drum error message. How to clear

On most fax machines a Dust on Drum error simply means that the drum unit needs to be removed and the charger cleaned by sliding the small built in charger cleaner back and forth but be sure to place it back in it's home position or your received faxes and copies will have a blank line thru them. See your operators guide for more details.
