Expected Page Yield and Printing Performance

| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TN-6600 | High Yield | Black | 6,000 | $0.004 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the toner light stay illuminated after replacing the TN-6600 cartridge?
The Brother HL-1270N uses a two-part system where the TN-6600 toner cartridge sits inside a separate drum unit. The toner life counter is triggered by the gear mechanism on the cartridge itself. Ensure the cartridge is fully locked into the drum frame until it clicks, allowing the printer's sensor to detect the fresh toner unit.
What ISO testing standard applies to TN-6600 black toner yield measurements?
TN-6600 toner yield is tested using ISO/IEC 19752 standard testing patterns, which simulate standard text coverage across standard A4 pages. Continuous high-density document printing or printing large grey shaded tables will use toner faster than standard standard letterhead documents.
Is the drum unit included when buying a replacement TN-6600 toner cartridge?
No, the TN-6600 is the toner supply cartridge only. It fits into the separate DR-6000 drum unit, which usually lasts through several toner replacement cycles before requiring renewal.
