Genuine Black Toner Cartridge

The Brother TN540 is a genuine black toner cartridge designed for compatible Brother laser printers. It delivers an approximate yield of 3500 pages at 5 percent coverage. The single-pack format suits home offices and small businesses with moderate print volumes. Installation follows the standard Brother cartridge procedure.

Fits Listed Brother Models Only

This cartridge fits the specific Brother DCP, HL and MFC models listed in the compatibility data such as the DCP-8040, HL-5140 and MFC-8440. Printers outside that list will not accept it and buyers needing colour output must purchase separate colour cartridges. High-volume environments may find the 3500-page yield requires frequent replacement.

Approximate Yield 3500 Pages

The key specification is the approximate yield of 3500 pages measured at 5 percent coverage. Actual page count varies with document density, print settings and environmental conditions. Buyers should match this yield expectation to their typical monthly output to decide if the cartridge meets their needs.

Questions about this item

How many pages will the 3500-page yield actually print in my HL-5170DN?

The 3500-page figure is measured at 5% coverage; typical office documents with graphics or dense text will reduce the real-world count.

Does the TN540 use a chip or mechanical key that the MFC-8440 reads?

The cartridge is recognised by the printer's built-in sensor; no separate chip installation is required.

Will the TN540 fit the toner bay on a DCP-8045D without forcing it?

Yes, the cartridge is moulded to the exact dimensions for the DCP-8045D and the other listed Brother models.
