Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the cheapest cartridge for these printers also the most expensive way to print?

Because the ticket and the page are priced separately. The TN730 costs $72.80 — the least cash of any genuine cartridge for this platform — but its 1,200-page rating puts each page at about 6.1 cents. The high-yield TN760 at $86.99 prints its 3,000 pages at roughly 2.9 cents each. So the TN730's bargain is real only on the day of purchase; across the cartridge's whole run, it is the dearest toner Brother sells for these machines, by a wide margin.

Is the TN730 the cartridge my printer arrived with?

Very likely, yes. This platform's printers ship with a starter cartridge of about this capacity, and the TN730 is that standard fill sold separately: 1,200 rated pages, intended for light duty and first replacements. Owners printing more than a few hundred pages a month usually feel its short run immediately — it is the cartridge that teaches most people the difference between standard and high yield on this platform.

TN730 or TN760 — how should I choose?

By monthly volume, honestly assessed. Under roughly 200 pages a month, a TN730 lasts half a year and the $14.19 you save today against the TN760 is defensible. Above that, the TN760's pages cost half as much and it needs changing two and a half times less often, so it wins on money and convenience together. The one clear TN730 case outside low volume: a printer about to be sold, returned or retired, where you need genuine toner in it now and will never see the later pages.

Which printers take the TN730?

Nine compact mono models: the DCP-L2550DW; the HL-L2350DW, HL-L2370DW, HL-L2370DW XL, HL-L2390DW and HL-L2395DW; and the MFC-L2710DW, MFC-L2750DW and MFC-L2750DW XL. On the two L2370/L2750 models and their XL variants, the TN770 super high yield is also an option; the remaining five top out at the TN760.

Does the TN730 need a different drum from the bigger cartridges?

No. Every fill on this platform — TN730, TN760 and TN770 alike — loads into the same DR730 drum unit, rated around 12,000 pages. With TN730 cartridges that means roughly ten toner changes per drum, which is exactly why light users meet the drum warning so rarely: the drum's span covers years of starter-size cartridges. Toner messages and drum messages remain separate; answer the one the display is actually showing.

What are the return terms on this cartridge?

You have 30 days from delivery to send it back, in all cases — the complete policy is on our shipping and returns page — and as genuine Brother stock it carries Brother's manufacturer warranty beyond that window. We ship from the closest of our Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California warehouses, and support runs Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
