Brother Toner Cartridges - Black

The Brother TN-230BK black toner cartridge has an estimated page yield of 2,200 pages when printing with 5% coverage on standard A4 or Letter size paper.

No, the TN-230BK is a black toner cartridge. Your compatible Brother printer also requires separate yellow (TN-230Y), magenta (TN-230M), and cyan (TN-230C) toner cartridges for color printing.

It is compatible with Brother HL-3040CN, HL-3070CW, DCP9010CN, MFC9120CN, and MFC9320CW models.

While compatible cartridges exist, using original Brother cartridges like the TN-230BK is recommended to ensure optimal performance, print quality, and to avoid potential printer damage or voiding warranties.

Store unused toner cartridges in their original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will preserve the toner quality until you are ready to install it.

'Original' signifies that this toner cartridge is manufactured by Brother, the same company that produced your printer. This ensures it meets Brother's exact specifications for quality and compatibility.

Ensure the toner cartridge is correctly installed. Gently rock the cartridge from side to side to redistribute the toner. Run a cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance menu. If the issue persists, the cartridge may be low or defective.

Remove and reinsert the toner cartridge, ensuring it clicks into place. Check for any protective seals or tabs that may have been missed during installation. Clean the electrical contacts on both the cartridge and the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth. Restart the printer.

This can sometimes occur due to uneven toner distribution. Gently rock the cartridge as described above. If the message persists and print quality is acceptable, you can often continue printing until quality degrades significantly. Check printer settings for toner save modes.
