Standard vs high-yield

Brother TN223 — 1,400 pages, $62.47; Brother TN227 — 3,000 pages, $81.60. 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.

The Brother HL-L3230CDW is a color laser: it needs a black cartridge plus cyan, magenta and yellow. Each color runs out at its own pace, so you can replace them one at a time or buy a set.

Toner and drum

Brother printers use a separate drum unit. The Brother HL-L3230CDW takes the Brother DR223CL, rated for about 18,000 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-L3230CDW: 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.
