Will Not Fit

• TN229 vs. TN227/TN223: TN229 is for the 2023-and-later HL-L3220CDW / MFC-L3720CDW generation. It does not fit the older HL-L3210CW, HL-L3230CDW, HL-L3270CDW, HL-L3290CDW, MFC-L3710CW, MFC-L3750CDW or MFC-L3770CDW, which use TN227 or TN223.

Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Installing: open the front cover and pull out the drum unit. Push down the green lock lever to release the empty toner from the DR229CL drum, gently rock the new cartridge side to side to spread the toner, remove the orange protective cover, and click it into the drum until it locks. Slide the green tab on the drum back and forth a few times to clean the corona wire, then reinstall.

Chip and supply messages: each cartridge has its own chip. If the printer shows a non-genuine supply notice, choose OK or Continue to keep printing. 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

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages does the Brother TN229XL print?

About 3,000 pages for the black cartridge and about 2,300 pages for each color, or about 9,900 pages for the full 4-pack, based on Brother's ISO/IEC 19798 ratings at roughly 5% coverage.

What is the difference between TN229, TN229XL and TN229XXL?

They differ in yield: standard 1,500/1,200 pages, XL 3,000/2,300 and XXL 4,500/4,000 (black/color). Standard and XL fit all 9 printers above; XXL fits only the HL-L3295CDW, HL-L8245CDW, MFC-L3780CDW and MFC-L8395CDW.

Does TN229XL fit the HL-L3270CDW or MFC-L3770CDW?

No. Those older models use TN227 or TN223 toner. TN229 fits only the 2023-and-later models listed above.

Is the drum included?

No. These are toner cartridges only; they install into the DR229CL drum unit already in your printer.

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.
