Compare the cartridge references.
The figures below are manufacturer benchmarks for original replacement cartridges, based on ISO/IEC 19798. Actual yield varies with print content and use. Compatible yields may differ; we confirm the exact product specification in your quote.

|---|---|---|
| TN-230BK ↗Black | Standard | 2,200 |
| TN-230C ↗Cyan | Standard | 1,400 |

Choose a reference to carry it into your enquiry. This requests a checked match and quotation; it does not place an order or reserve stock.
Match the reference to your printer.
These checked examples apply to the references shown beside them. They are not a complete compatibility list. A higher-capacity cartridge may fit fewer printers than the standard version. Send your full model so we can confirm the right Compatible or Original option.
- TN-230BK / TN-230C / TN-230M / TN-230Y
- HL-3040CN
Example printers for this family.
These are verified examples, not a complete compatibility list. Include your full model and region so we can confirm the specific cartridge before you order.
Different model suffixes, regional cartridges, chips, firmware or subscription arrangements may require a further check. If your model is not listed, ask us to identify your toner.
Four separate colour cartridges for this older family
TN230 includes black, cyan, magenta and yellow references. The Original black benchmark differs from the three colour benchmarks, so tell us which colours and quantities you need.
HL-3040CN is the verified example here. If you have another Brother colour printer, send its full model rather than assuming TN230 and TN241 are interchangeable.
Replacing toner or another supply?
Toner, drum, belt and waste units are different supplies. Tell us the exact printer message before replacing a part; changing toner does not replace the other components.
Help with toner and drum identification ↗What to include for a clear quote.
- Full printer model and cartridge reference, if known.
- Colour and quantity, including individual replacements or a complete set.
- Delivery postcode, deadline and any recognition or firmware message.
We check suitable compatible options first and confirm the product, current price and delivery before you agree an order. If your organisation specifies Original toner, ask us to check current supply.
