Frequently Asked Questions

The MFC-7340 has been handling our forms and faxes for years — does a high-yield cartridge still make sense for it?

It makes the most sense there. A forms-and-fax era MFC-7340 doing daily paperwork gets through pages steadily, in small jobs that add up. This TN360-class cartridge gives it 2,600 pages at $31.33 — about 1.21¢ per page — so the daily flow of forms and printed faxes is not broken up by constant cartridge changes.

Do pages my MFC-7340 prints from incoming faxes count against the toner yield?

Yes — any page the MFC-7340 puts toner on counts, whether it started as a print from your computer, a copy off the glass, or a received fax being printed out. Budget the 2,600-page rating against all of that output together, which is another reason the high-yield size suits this machine's working day.

We have always put TN330 cartridges in the MFC-7340 — what is the TN360 difference?

Same fit for the MFC-7340, larger capacity. The TN330 is rated at 1,500 pages; this TN360 class is rated at 2,600 pages. On a machine with a daily paperwork habit, that extra capacity is what turns cartridge ordering from a monthly chore into an occasional one, at $31.33 each. For the full picture on this cartridge family, see our Best Brother TN330 Toner Cartridges guide: the TN330 and TN360 listings are priced as one shared cartridge, and the guide sets both names side by side with the DR360 drum — including how the two names differ on paper and where they turn out to be the same cartridge underneath.

On the MFC-7340, do I change the drum when I change this toner?

No. The MFC-7340 keeps its toner and its DR360 drum — rated at 12,000 pages — as separate units. This listing is the toner only, and it fits into the drum already in your machine, which is replaced far less often.

What other Brother models take the same cartridge as our MFC-7340?

The MFC-7340 belongs to a well-populated platform. 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. If a newer-looking Brother nearby appears on that list, it drinks from the same supplies shelf.

What warranty and returns cover comes with this MFC-7340 cartridge?

Cover runs for a year on both fronts — you get a 1-year warranty and a year of free returns with it. Our shipping and returns policy tells you how each one works in practice.

Is there anything worth doing to the new cartridge before it goes into the MFC-7340?

Yes — a few seconds of preparation. Rock the TN360 gently from side to side several times to distribute the toner powder evenly after shipping and storage, and remove any protective packaging exactly as it is presented. Then it clicks into the DR360 drum assembly as usual. A cartridge fitted straight from a shaken delivery box can print unevenly for its first pages; the rock prevents that.

A received fax prints out faint, yet pages from the computer look strong — where is the problem?

Probably not in the cartridge. The MFC-7340 can only print the image the fax transmission delivered, and a faint or noisy incoming fax reproduces faintly no matter how fresh the toner is. Use the split as a diagnostic: strong computer prints alongside faint faxes point at the sender's original or the line, while output that is faint from every source points at the toner.

How can the office see how much life the fitted cartridge has left between changes?

The machine reports its own status, including supply information, on its printed reports and display, and it tracks the DR360 drum on a separate count from the toner. Checking that report occasionally lets the office compare pages printed against the TN360's 2,600-page rating and time the next order to arrive before the current cartridge finishes, instead of after.

The new cartridge arrives damaged — can the one just taken out carry the office in the meantime?

Usually, yes, and this is a good reason not to discard a removed cartridge the same day. A TN360 taken out at the low-toner stage normally still holds enough powder for days of ordinary forms and faxes. Refitting it buys the office working time while the damaged delivery is sorted out, and it also proves whether a print fault follows the cartridge or stays with the machine.
