HL-4040CN Toner | Compatible & Genuine Brother TN110 / TN115

HL-4040CN

Brother's first color laser with a fully in-house engine (2007), the HL-4040CN marked the start of the company's own color platform. It prints at 21 ppm in color and mono with network connectivity — 10/100Base-TX Ethernet, USB direct, and PictBridge — but two-sided output stays manual, since automatic duplex arrived with the CDN. It takes the TN110/TN115 toner series with the DR110CL drum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Brother HL-4040CN use?

The HL-4040CN 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), plus the Brother DR110CL drum unit (~17,000 pages).

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 TN110 and TN115 toner cartridges and the genuine Brother DR110CL drum.
