Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Genuine Brother toner cartridges are manufactured specifically for the Brother HL-L9310CDW, while premium compatible cartridges provide a more affordable option for everyday business printing. Using compatible cartridges does not automatically remove your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ink Depot compatible cartridges are covered by a money-back performance guarantee if they do not install, register or perform as expected. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide to compare the available options.
Drum, Belt and Waste Toner Components
The Brother HL-L9310CDW uses separate toner and maintenance components. The DR-441CL drum unit, BU-330CL belt unit and WT-320CL waste toner box operate independently from the toner cartridges and are replaced only when required. This allows each component to remain installed until the printer indicates that it has reached its replacement point.
Best Way to Stock These Cartridges
Workplaces producing large volumes of invoices, reports and correspondence may benefit from keeping an additional Brother TN446 black cartridge available. Businesses regularly printing presentations, charts and marketing documents may prefer a complete colour set or multi-pack so each replacement colour is ready when required.
All compatible cartridges are covered by a money-back performance guarantee. If you order the wrong product, review the available options through our returns policy. Free delivery applies on orders over $99, with products dispatched from distribution centres in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Store unopened Brother TN446 toner cartridges horizontally in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat and moisture. Keeping a spare black cartridge available can also help minimise unexpected interruptions during text-heavy office printing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace only the Brother TN446 black toner cartridge?
Yes. The Brother HL-L9310CDW uses separate black, cyan, magenta and yellow toner cartridges. You can replace the depleted Brother TN446 black cartridge without replacing colour cartridges that still contain toner.
Why does the printer request a new DR-441CL drum when the toner cartridges are full?
The DR-441CL drum unit and Brother TN446 toner cartridges are separate consumables with independent replacement cycles. The toner cartridges supply the toner powder, while the drum unit helps transfer the image during printing. A drum replacement message can therefore appear even when the toner cartridges still contain toner.
Do I need to replace the BU-330CL belt unit with the toner cartridges?
No. The BU-330CL belt unit operates independently from the toner cartridges and normally has a much longer replacement cycle. Replace it only when the printer displays a belt replacement message or when troubleshooting confirms that the belt unit requires attention.
