HL-5240 Toner

The printer already has an installed toner cartridge and comes with a replacement. Brother HL-5240 requires only one toner cartridge:

• TN550 standard yield toner cartridge

TN550 toner cartridge is capable of printing 3,500 pages. A higher yield toner cartridge is also available which can do 7,000 pages. The TN550 toner is specifically formulated to work with HL-5240’s system design. It provides for an even distribution of toners with the use of polymer. Polymer holds toners together. The toners melt at a certain temperature to ensure the best quality of texts and graphics.

User Reviews

Pros:

• Cheap. Much cheaper than other brands.

• An Easy setupp. No need to have in-depth skills to be able to set this up without the help of a technical team. Even first-time users can install it with its user-friendly interface and design.

• Long toner and drum life. The toner and drum can last for a year before you replace them. It is because there are less waste materials in the way the printer uses its toners.

• Durable. Brother products are durable; they can last for a decade.

• Perfect for printing labels. Prints good quality CD cover labels.

• Quiet. The machine noise is around 27 dB to 53 dB.

Cons:

• No network support.  It does not allow workgroup. With a one on one setup, this printer is not ideal for users who want to share resources.

• Premature toner warning. Many printers have this issue. Printer says cartridges are already empty when they are not. Anyway, this can be overridden by changing some printer settings.

• Wrinkles envelope sides. Almost all customers’ complaints involved the wrinkling of envelope sides. It is good with plain papers but not in handling envelopes.

• Replacement is expensive. The replacement toners are much more expensive. It is cheaper to just buy a new one.

• Print quality. The printing quality for photos is not excellent.

• Creasesthe paperr. It occasionally creases papers when printing.

• Small footprints. It occasionally leaves small footprints on the paper. This may be avoided by regularly cleaning the print head.
