Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
We stock both original Brother toners and premium compatible cartridges. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible TN-348 cartridges offer high page capacity at a lower price point. Read our guide comparing genuine vs compatible cartridges to learn more.
Separate Maintenance Items
This printer utilises separate DR-340CL drum units, BU-300CL transfer belts, and WT-300CL waste toner boxes alongside standard toners. Experience Tip: When replacing the DR-340CL drum unit, you must manually reset the drum counter via the printer panel while the front cover remains open to clear the error message.
Best Way to Stock These Cartridges

Pro Tip
Always replace the waste toner bottle (WT-300CL) when prompted, as an overfilled waste bottle can trigger sensor errors and result in stray toner dust inside the print chamber.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace the DR-340CL drum every time I change a TN-348 toner?
No, the drum unit is rated for approximately 25,000 pages and operates independently of the toner cartridges. You will typically replace multiple toner sets before needing a new drum.
Can I mix standard TN-340 and high-yield TN-348 cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, the printer accepts both series simultaneously across different slots. For example, you can run a high-yield TN-348BK black toner alongside standard TN-340 colour cartridges without any compatibility issues.
Why does the printer show a drum error after installing a new DR-340CL unit?
The HL-4150CDN requires a manual counter reset when a drum is installed. Opening the front cover, pressing the Clear button, and confirming the drum reset prompts the internal counter to start fresh.
