HL-4050CDN Toner | Compatible & Genuine Brother TN110 / TN115

HL-4050CDN

CDN spells out exactly what the HL-4050CDN delivers: color, duplex, network. This 21 ppm laser prints double-sided as standard and shares itself across an office over 10/100 Ethernet, with USB and parallel ports still on board. Brother's spec sheet lists 2400x600 dpi output, 64MB of memory (expandable to 576MB), and PCL6 plus BR-Script3 for mixed environments. TN-115 high-yield cartridges keep the cost per page in check on this workhorse.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the Brother HL-4050CDN use?

The HL-4050CDN 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 TN115 toner cartridges and the genuine Brother DR110CL drum.
