How to check the drum life on a Brother IntelliFax 5750e fax machine

To see approximately how much life is left for your IntelliFax's drum unit:

- Press the Menu button
- Press 2 for Fax
- Press 0 for Miscellaneous
- Press 3 for Drum Life

"Drum Life Remaining" will be displayed, along with a percentage.  This percentage is only an estimate, but can give you an idea of how long you have before you need to replace the drum.  (If you do need a new drum soon, Amazon currently has some OEM DR-400 drums for this model selling for $160.30, or you can find compatible and remanufactured drum units for much cheaper.)
