DCP-L8400CDN
For offices that don't need a fax line, the Brother DCP-L8400CDN trims the multifunction down to print, copy and scan without losing any pace — 28 pages per minute with automatic duplexing. A 9.3 cm color touchscreen fronts the 3-in-1 design, and wired ethernet plus USB 2.0 handle the networking. It takes the TN331/TN336 toner family as the entry point of Brother's L8000 color line. Spelled out cartridge by cartridge, the standard set runs TN331BK in black, TN331C in cyan, TN331M in magenta and TN331Y in yellow, and the high-yield set mirrors it number for number as TN336BK, TN336C, TN336M and TN336Y.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner does the Brother DCP-L8400CDN use?
The DCP-L8400CDN uses the Brother TN331 standard-yield toner series (black ~2,500 pages, each color ~1,500 pages) or the Brother TN336 high-yield series (black ~4,000 pages, each color ~3,500 pages).
What is the difference between the TN331 and the TN336?
Both fit the same printers. The TN336 is the high-yield version — about 4,000 black / 3,500 color pages versus about 2,500 black / 1,500 color for the TN331 — so it costs less per page if you print a lot.
Are the cartridges on this page original or compatible?
Both — this page carries compatible TN331 and TN336 replacements as well as genuine Brother OEM TN331 toner cartridges.
