HL-4040CD

Adding automatic two-sided printing to the base HL-4040 platform, the Brother HL-4040CD cuts paper use on every job without slowing the 21 ppm color and mono engine. It keeps the same TN110/TN115 toner and DR110CL drum pairing, plus the 300-sheet tray. Connectivity remains Hi-Speed USB 2.0 only, so it fits single-user or shared-desk setups rather than networked fleets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Brother HL-4040CD use?

The HL-4040CD uses four toner cartridges — black, cyan, magenta and yellow — in either the standard-yield Brother TN110 series (black ~2,500 pages, color ~1,500 pages each) or the high-yield Brother TN115 series (black ~5,000 pages, color ~4,000 pages each).

What is the difference between the TN110 and the TN115?

Both fit the same printers. The TN115 is the high-yield version — about 5,000 black pages versus about 2,500 for the TN110, and about 4,000 pages per color versus about 1,500 — so it costs less per page if you print a lot of color.

Are the cartridges on this page original or compatible?

Both — this page carries compatible TN110 and TN115 replacements as well as genuine Brother OEM TN115 toner cartridges.

Can I mix TN110 and TN115 cartridges in the HL-4040CD?

Yes — the TN110 and TN115 series are interchangeable in the same machine, so you can use a high-yield black TN115 with standard-yield color TN110s, for example.
