Brother MFC-L2740DW Toner Cartridges
Your Brother MFC-L2740DW uses the TN-2330 and TN-2350 toner cartridge series along with DR-2325 drum units. The Brother MFC-L2740DW is a compact monochrome laser multifunction printer engineered for fast, automatic duplex printing and scanning in office environments. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Sep 2014. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Switching from standard TN-2330 black toner to high-yield TN-2350 options significantly reduces cost per page during high-volume document workflows.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
The high-yield TN-2350 Black toner delivers up to 2,600 pages, while the standard TN-2330 produces around 1,200 pages. Page yields are measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752 testing standards for monochrome laser printing based on 5% page coverage.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TN-2330 | Standard | Black | 1,200 | $0.082 |
| TN-2350 | High Yield | Black | 2,600 | $0.064 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Managing the DR-2325 Drum Unit
The Brother MFC-L2740DW uses a two-piece consumable system where the TN-2330 or TN-2350 Black toner cartridge sits directly inside the separate DR-2325 drum unit. Experience Tip: The DR-2325 drum unit has a rated lifespan of 12,000 pages, meaning it outlasts roughly four to ten toner replacements before requiring renewal.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Opting for compatible TN-2350 cartridges offers significant savings for everyday business document printing without compromising on output quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Stocking Strategy and Fast Delivery Options
For general text documents and multi-page reports, opting for TN-2350 high-yield cartridges or multi-packs maximises printing output while lowering long-term operating costs.

Practical Purchasing Tip
Always verify whether print fading is caused by low toner or an expiring drum; replacing a TN-2350 cartridge when the DR-2325 drum unit is past its 12,000-page threshold can lead to persistent background shading on printed documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a high-yield TN-2350 toner if my printer came with a standard TN-2330?
Yes, the TN-2330 and TN-2350 cartridges share identical physical outer dimensions and fit into the exact same slot inside the DR-2325 drum assembly; the TN-2350 simply contains more toner powder for higher page yields.
Do I need to replace the DR-2325 drum unit every time I change the toner cartridge?
No, the DR-2325 drum unit lasts for up to 12,000 pages, whereas a TN-2350 toner lasts up to 2,600 pages. Typically, you will replace the toner cartridge four to five times before needing a new drum unit.
How does the printer differentiate between a depleted TN-2350 toner and a depleted DR-2325 drum?
The Brother MFC-L2740DW tracks toner usage and drum page cycles independently, issuing distinct alert messages on the control panel when the TN-2350 toner is low versus when the DR-2325 drum unit requires replacement.
