Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Installing: open the top cover (the scanner unit on MFC models) and lift out the empty cartridge by its handle. Gently rock the new cartridge side to side to spread the toner, pull off the orange protective cover, and slide it into the slot with the matching color label until it clicks. Close the cover.

Chip and supply messages: each cartridge has its own chip. If the printer shows a non-genuine notice, select OK or Continue. If a cartridge isn't recognized, remove it, make sure all packing material is off and reseat it firmly. See our guide to fixing a cartridge that isn't recognized.

Quality: Compatible, Newly Manufactured

These are compatible toner cartridges, newly manufactured by a third party to the original's size, chip and page-yield specifications and tested before shipping. They are not refilled Brother shells. Castle Ink sells compatible (newly manufactured) toner and drums, and remanufactured inkjet cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages does Brother TN227 toner print?

About 3,000 pages for the black and about 2,300 pages for each color, or about 9,900 pages for the full 4-pack, at roughly 5% coverage.

What is the difference between TN223 and TN227?

Yield. TN223 is standard yield (1,400 black / 1,300 color pages) and TN227 is high yield (3,000 / 2,300). Both fit the same 7 printers, and you can mix them.

Does TN227 fit the HL-L3280CDW or MFC-L3780CDW?

No. Those newer models take TN229 toner.

Is the drum included?

No. These cartridges fit into the DR223CL drum unit already in your printer. The drum is replaced far less often than the toner.

Can I replace one color at a time?

Yes. Each color is a separate cartridge, and we sell TN227 black, cyan, magenta and yellow singly.

Will this void my printer warranty?

No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.
