Frequently Asked Questions

For small-stack copying and scanning at a home-office desk, why does the DCP-7040 suit a high-yield cartridge?

Copy jobs draw toner just like prints, so a morning of small stacks, forms and scanned-and-copied pages eats a standard cartridge faster than people expect. This TN360-class cartridge runs to 2,600 pages for $31.33 — about 1.21¢ a page — which means the DCP-7040 can work through those desk-side jobs for longer between changes.

How should I count the yield on my DCP-7040 when half my output is copies, not prints?

Count copies and prints together — both put toner on paper — and do not count scans, which use no toner at all. On that basis the 2,600-page rating is the working budget for your DCP-7040, whether the page started on your computer or on the glass as a copy.

I have been buying TN330 cartridges for my DCP-7040 — is this TN360 a sensible switch?

Yes, it is the high-yield step up for the same machines. The TN330 is rated at 1,500 pages; this TN360 class is rated at 2,600 pages. For a DCP-7040 that copies as well as prints, that extra 1,100 pages is the difference between changing cartridges as a routine and changing them as an interruption.

My DCP-7040 copies are coming out faded — should I replace the toner or the drum?

Light or fading output usually means the toner is running low, while the drum is a separate question. The DCP-7040 takes the DR360 drum, rated at 12,000 pages, apart from the toner. Start with the toner swap this listing covers; only look at the drum if quality problems persist on a fresh cartridge.

Does this DCP-7040 cartridge fit any other Brother models in the house or office?

It is a platform cartridge, so it travels well between machines. The same cartridge also serves these Brother models: DCP-7030, DCP-7040, DCP-7045N, HL-2140, HL-2150N, HL-2170W, MFC-7320, MFC-7340, MFC-7345DN, MFC-7345N and MFC-7440N. A spare kept for the DCP-7040 may therefore already be the spare for a second machine on that list.

If the cartridge for my DCP-7040 arrives and I need to send it back, what happens?

You are backed by cover for a year: a 1-year warranty on the cartridge and free returns for 1 year too. Our shipping and returns policy explains the process in full before you order.
