What Toner Does the Brother HL-L2370DWXL Use?
Nov 5th 2026
Quick answer: The Brother HL-L2370DWXL uses the same supplies as the plain HL-L2370DW: TN730 standard toner (about 1,200 pages) or TN760 high-yield toner (about 3,000 pages), and the DR730 drum (about 12,000 pages). The XL in the name describes what Brother put in the box, not a different machine.
The XL Is a Carton, Not a Printer
Strip the badge away and the HL-L2370DWXL is the HL-L2370DW: 36 pages per minute, automatic duplex, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and USB, a 250-sheet tray and a 1-line display. What Brother changed is the starter supply. Where the ordinary model ships with a small starter cartridge, the XL carton holds two full cartridges — a TN760 high-yield and a TN770 super high-yield — worth roughly 7,500 pages of printing, which Brother markets as up to two years of toner at around 300 pages a month. A DR730 drum completes the box.
This matters to owners for a practical reason: the first replacement decision arrives far later than other buyers experience it, and when it does arrive, it can feel strangely sudden. A printer that has never asked for toner in eighteen months trains its owner to forget the cartridge exists. This page is written for that day.
When the Box Finally Runs Dry
| Supply | Rated yield | Our compatible price | Cost per page |
|---|---|---|---|
| TN760 high-yield toner | ~3,000 pages | $25.26 | ~0.8¢ |
| TN730 standard toner | ~1,200 pages | $25.26 | ~2.1¢ |
| DR730 drum unit | ~12,000 pages | $28.55 | ~0.2¢ |
Two notes on reading that table as an XL owner. First, the drum clock started the day you unboxed the machine, and by the time the in-box toner is gone the drum may already be more than half spent — its 12,000-page rating against your roughly 7,500 pages of included toner makes the math plain. Second, the high-yield cartridge is the natural successor to what you have been using: at the prices checked for this article it carries the same tag as the standard listing and prints two and a half times as long. There is no penalty for stepping down to the TN730 if your volume has dropped — the printer accepts either size at any point, in any order.
The Replacement, When It Eventually Comes
Power stays on. Open the front cover, pull the drum assembly out, and press the green lever to free the empty cartridge. Rock the fresh cartridge gently side to side, pull its protective cover away, and push it into the drum until the click. Slide the drum's green cleaning tab across and back to its home mark, refit the assembly, and close the cover. If a new cartridge is greeted with a toner error rather than a ready light, do not order a second one — follow our TN760 reset and recognition guide first; a counter reset resolves most of those cases.
Restocking an XL: Think in Pairs
Replacement habits for this model should mirror how it was sold — in bulk. Our TN760 toner and DR730 drum set pairs the two wear parts in one shipment; on November 2, 2026 it was priced at $37.73 versus $53.81 for the parts separately, keeping a little over $16 in your pocket. Because your drum has been working since unboxing day, the set is a more natural first restock for an XL owner than for almost anyone else in this family. A drum-and-two-toner set stretches the interval further, and a two-drum, two-toner set effectively resets the whole supply clock.
The honest boundary: if your drum still shows low mileage — say the printer mostly idled through its two years — then toner alone is the correct order, and the drum can wait for its own message. Match the purchase to the drum's age, not to the calendar.
Questions From HL-L2370DWXL Owners
Is the XL printer itself different from the HL-L2370DW? No. Same engine, same connections, same supplies. The difference is entirely in the carton: two full-size cartridges totaling roughly 7,500 pages instead of a small starter.
My box included a TN770. Can I keep buying that size? The TN770 super high-yield cartridge is a genuine Brother option for this model. Our compatible range for the family is built around the TN760, which at about 3,000 pages and the price above delivers the lowest cost per page we sell for this printer.
Two years passed and the toner light just came on. Is something wrong? Almost certainly not — that is the XL promise working as advertised. Your included cartridges are finally exhausted. Check the drum's page count while you are ordering; it has been counting too.
Can I install the standard TN730 after using high-yield cartridges? Yes. The printer does not lock you into a size. Each cartridge is read on its own, and you can mix sizes across the machine's life freely.
Does the "up to two years" claim affect the drum warranty or yield? No. The drum is rated at about 12,000 pages regardless of how long those pages take to print.

Other Printers That Use TN730, TN760 and DR730
The family totals twelve models. Its other print-only members are the HL-L2350DW, the standard HL-L2370DW, HL-L2390DW and HL-L2395DW. Copy-and-scan duty is handled by the DCP-L2550DW, and the MFC branch adds fax: MFC-L2690DW, MFC-L2710DW, MFC-L2717DW, MFC-L2750DW and MFC-L2750DWXL — the last of those is this same in-box-toner idea applied to an all-in-one.
