Compare the cartridge references.
The figures below are manufacturer benchmarks for original replacement cartridges, based on A4/Letter pages at 5% coverage. Actual yield varies with print content and use. Compatible yields may differ; we confirm the exact product specification in your quote.
| Reference / colour | Capacity | Approx. pages |
|---|---|---|
| TN-3130 ↗Black | Standard | 3,500 |
| TN-3170 ↗Black | High yield | 7,000 |
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-3130 / TN-3170
- HL-5250DN, HL-5270DN
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.
Compare the two legacy black toner capacities
TN3130 and TN3170 have Original benchmarks of 3,500 and 7,000 pages at 5% coverage. Preserve that test basis when comparing the quoted product with other supplies.
Send the complete HL-5250DN or HL-5270DN model and the reference from the used cartridge. We check supply for these older printers rather than promising stock from a manufacturer listing.
Replacing toner or another supply?
DR-3100 is the separate drum reference for the verified examples. 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.

- 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.
