Brother HL-4570CDW Toner Cartridges
Your Brother HL-4570CDW uses the TN-340 and High Yield TN-348 toner cartridge series, operating alongside an independent DR-340CL drum unit, BU-300CL transfer belt, and WT-300CL waste toner bottle. Supplying consumables for this office workhorse since Jan 2011, we understand how heavy document workflows impact individual colour levels. As demonstrated by our 4.8 Google rating, we are committed to providing premium consumable cartridges. Switching to high yield TN-348 black and colour cartridges drastically reduces replacement downtime during intensive print runs.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for the TN-340 and high-capacity TN-348 series are measured under the ISO/IEC 19798 standard for colour laser printing. Actual duty cycles depend heavily on coverage per page, with high-volume offices achieving significantly lower running costs by utilising the TN-348 high-yield cartridges over standard-yield equivalents.

Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
For businesses looking to lower operational overheads without sacrificing print clarity, third-party cartridges offer substantial savings. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn more in our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridge guide.
Drum Units and Maintenance Components
Beyond toner cartridges, maintaining your printer requires changing the DR-340CL drum unit (rated for 25,000 pages), the BU-300CL transfer belt, and the WT-300CL waste toner bottle.
Experience Tip: When replacing the DR-340CL drum unit, manually reset the drum counter via the printer menu control panel to clear the replacement prompt.
Choosing the Right Supply Strategy
If your office prints mostly black-and-white invoices or text documents, stock up on the TN-348BK black cartridge to minimise changeovers. For full-colour reporting, high-yield TN-348 colour cartridges deliver better value. Compatible options include a 90-day money-back guarantee. View our full returns policy for details.

Pro Tip
Always replace toner cartridges when prompted, but only replace the DR-340CL drum unit when print quality displays permanent vertical lines or persistent background shadowing across pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard yield TN-340 and high yield TN-348 cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, you can mix TN-340 and TN-348 cartridges across different colour slots without issue. The printer reads each cartridge independently regardless of whether it is standard or high capacity.
Does replacing the toner cartridge automatically reset the drum life indicator?
No, toner cartridges and drum units operate as separate physical components. Replacing a TN-340 or TN-348 toner cartridge will reset toner levels, but the drum unit counter must be reset independently when installing a new DR-340CL.
Why does my printer display a waste toner box full message when toner is still available?
The WT-300CL waste toner bottle collects excess toner dust during automatic calibration and print cycles. Once filled, the printer halts operation to prevent internal contamination, requiring a direct replacement of the waste unit regardless of remaining toner levels.
