Standard vs high-yield

Brother TN420 — 1,200 pages, $41.47; Brother TN450 — 2,600 pages, $60.35. The larger cartridges cost more up front but print more pages per dollar — if you print more than a few hundred pages a month, the higher-yield option usually has the lowest cost per page.

Toner and drum

Brother printers use a separate drum unit. The Brother HL-2240 takes the Brother DR420, rated for about 12,000 pages — replace it when the printer shows "Replace Drum" or prints show repeating marks, then reset the drum counter.

Why use genuine Brother toner

Original Brother cartridges are built and tested for the Brother HL-2240: the printer reads toner levels correctly, print quality and page yield match Brother's ratings, and your printer warranty is not affected. Every cartridge we sell is factory-sealed original Brother — never refilled, never compatible.
