Brother DCP-1510 Toner & Drum FAQ (TN1070 / DR1070)
What toner and drum does the Brother DCP-1510 use?
The Brother DCP-1510 mono laser printer uses the TN1070 black toner cartridge and the DR1070 drum unit. The toner and drum are separate parts: you replace the TN1070 when the toner is low, and the DR1070 drum when the printer indicates the drum is at end of life.
What is the difference between the TN1070 toner and DR1070 drum?
The TN1070 toner cartridge contains the black toner powder used
to create the image on the page. The DR1070 drum unit is a separate
component that transfers the toner onto the paper.
You will replace the toner more often, while the drum unit is replaced less frequently.
Keeping both in good condition helps maintain sharp, consistent print quality.
Can I use compatible TN1070 toner or DR1070 drum units?
Yes, the Brother DCP-1510 can use compatible TN1070 toner cartridges
and compatible DR1070 drum units, provided they are correctly matched
to the printer and made to a good standard.
Genuine Brother consumables are recommended for the most reliable performance,
but quality compatible products can be a cost-effective option for everyday mono printing.
How will I know when to replace the TN1070 toner or DR1070 drum?
Your Brother DCP-1510 will display on-screen messages when the
toner is low or the drum unit needs replacing.
You may also notice faded prints, light areas or marks on the page.
When the printer shows Toner Low or Replace Toner, fit a new TN1070 cartridge.
When you see Replace Drum, install a new DR1070 drum unit.
Does the Brother DCP-1510 support USB printer cables?
Yes. The DCP-1510 connects to your computer using a USB 2.0 A-to-B printer cable. A wired USB connection is simple, stable and ideal when Wi-Fi is not required or not available.
Where do you ship Brother DCP-1510 supplies from?
We ship TN1070 toner cartridges, DR1070 drum units and printer cables from warehouses located in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. Orders are dispatched from the nearest warehouse for fast delivery across Australia.
Should I update my Brother printer’s firmware if I use compatible toner or drum units?
If you use compatible TN1070 toner cartridges or a
compatible DR1070 drum unit, we recommend
not installing firmware updates.
Brother firmware updates are designed to improve printer performance and
security, but they can also:
• Block compatible toner and drum chips
• Trigger “Cannot Detect” or “Replace Toner/Drum” errors
• Stop previously working compatible cartridges from functioning
• Force the use of genuine Brother consumables only
If you prefer using compatible supplies, turn off automatic updates and avoid
manual firmware upgrades. Genuine TN1070 and DR1070 supplies are unaffected.
