MFC-9330CW

The Brother MFC-9330CW is a wireless and wired color multifunction printer — print, copy, scan and fax — running at 23 ppm in color with automatic two-sided printing. It takes the TN221 standard-yield and TN225 high-yield toner system: black is the TN221BK cartridge, also filed as TN-221BK and in some listings as TN225BK, at about 2,500 pages; the standard colors are the genuine TN221C cyan, TN221M magenta and TN221Y yellow cartridges at about 1,400 pages each; and the high-yield colors are the TN225C, TN225M and TN225Y cartridges, also written TN-225C, TN-225M and TN-225Y, at about 2,200 pages each.

This is the fax-and-copy workhorse of the line, and that workload is what shapes the cartridge pattern: heavy months of faxing and copying burn through black toner fastest, while color peaks in bursts when documents need a splash of cyan, magenta or yellow. That is why the shelf leans the way it does — black in 2-, 3- and 5-packs for the steady fax volume, and the colors as high-yield singles or sets for the months when color work picks up. Wired Ethernet stays available alongside Wi-Fi and USB, so the machine drops into any network without fuss.

Toner Cartridges for MFC-9330CW

Which cartridge should you buy?

For heavy months, the high-yield TN225 colors are the economical choice — about 2,200 pages each against the standard color's 1,400 — and the black 2-, 3- or 5-packs cover the steady fax volume at the lowest cost per page. For light months, the single TN221BK black cartridge is enough on its own. The genuine OEM color cartridges are listed for buyers who want the original in the color slots, and the color sets are the simplest reorder when cyan, magenta and yellow all run low together.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Every cartridge here carries a chip that identifies it to the printer, so a new cartridge should be recognized the moment it is seated — reseat it firmly if the printer still reports the old one. Keep spares flat, cool and out of sunlight, and keep a spare black cartridge in the cupboard, since fax traffic empties black without warning. A gentle side-to-side rock redistributes toner in a cartridge that has sat unused for weeks. Page counts are estimates at standard coverage, and heavy color pages use toner faster.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner does the MFC-9330CW use?

It uses the TN221BK black cartridge, the standard-yield TN221C, TN221M and TN221Y colors, and the high-yield TN225C, TN225M and TN225Y colors. Black also comes in 2-, 3- and 5-packs on this page.

Why do some listings call the black cartridge TN225BK?

That code is a filing habit, not a second cartridge: some listings file the black cartridge as TN225BK and others as TN221BK, but both listings are the same black cartridge for this printer.

Does this page sell a drum unit?

No. The drum unit is a separate part and is not among the listings on this page — this page lists toner cartridges only.

Does duplex printing change which cartridge I need?

No. Automatic two-sided printing uses the same TN221BK and TN225 cartridges; it changes how paper is used, not which cartridge fits.
