The Brother HL-4040CN (a single-function mono laser printer) prints through the TN115 series; this listing is its compatible high-yield version — TN115 is the high-yield branch of the family, above the standard TN110 ratings of 2,500 pages black and 1,500 per color. Expect up to 5,000 pages from the black cartridge and up to 4,000 pages from each color.
A 1-year warranty covers the cartridge, and returns are free for a full year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our whole team prints to the HL-4040CN — how do we keep black from becoming the bottleneck?
Choose capacity. A networked printer aggregates everyone's monochrome jobs onto one black cartridge, and the TN115BK's 5,000 pages at $44.92 (about 0.90¢ per page) stretches the interval between swaps. Teams that standardize on high-yield black simply stop thinking about toner most months.
What printers is it compatible with?
This cartridge serves the TN115 platform: DCP-9040CN, DCP-9045CDN, HL-4040CDN, HL-4040CN, HL-4070CDW, MFC-9440CN and MFC-9450CDN
Do teammates' color jobs drain this black cartridge?
Barely. Color pages consume mainly the TN115C, M and Y cartridges at 4,000 pages each. Your black level tracks the team's text and document output — which, in most offices, is the overwhelming majority of pages anyway.
Why does our office go through black so much faster than the colors?
Because office printing is monochrome at heart: emails, contracts, labels and reports rarely need color. That is normal for this platform, and it is exactly why the black cartridge is offered in a 5,000-page high-yield size while each color is replaced individually, only when its own work empties it.
TN110BK or TN115BK for a team printer?
The TN110BK yields 2,500 pages — on a shared HL-4040CN, that is a cartridge change twice as often, with someone always discovering the empty at the worst moment. The TN115BK's 5,000 pages make it the team-appropriate choice. If every supply runs low at once, the TN115 four-color set ($127.02) resets the whole machine in one order.
What backing does it carry?
A one-year warranty and one-year free returns cover this compatible cartridge; terms are on the shipping and returns page. It ships from IL, PA, GA or CA, with support hours of 9 AM–5 PM CST.
About This TN115BK for the HL-4040CN
Shared printers fail socially before they fail mechanically: the cartridge empties mid-queue and the job belongs to someone else. Doubling black capacity to 5,000 pages at roughly 0.90¢ each is the simplest fix — fewer interruptions, calmer queues. This TN115BK is that fix for the HL-4040CN, and its color companions sit on the Brother supplies page.
