Understanding the Brother TN760 & DR730
To ensure optimal printer performance, it’s important to understand the differences between the TN730, TN760, TN770, and DR730 cartridges. Each cartridge serves a unique purpose in the printing process.
What is the TN760 toner cartridge?
The TN760 toner is a high yield cartridge that holds toner powder, essential for producing sharp text and images on paper. The TN760 series offer three yield options, allowing consumers to choose based on their printing needs. Each option contains varying amounts of toner to accommodate different print volumes.
- TN730 (Standard Yield): ~1,200 pages. Ideal for moderate printing volume.
- TN760 (High Yield): ~3,000 pages. Suitable for higher printing volume.
- TN770 (Super High Yield): ~4,500 pages. Perfect for heavy duty printing volume.
What is the DR730 drum unit?
The DR730 drum unit transfers toner powder to paper using heat and pressure, making your prints come to life. Unlike toner cartridges, which require more frequent replacement, the DR730 drum unit has a longer lifespan.
- DR730 Drum Unit: ~12,000 pages. Typically replaced after using 2-4 toner cartridges.
Both the TN760 series toner cartridge and the DR730 drum unit are crucial for your printer’s optimal performance. The toner cartridge supplies the printing material, while the drum unit ensures precise transfer of this material onto paper. If you notice poor print quality, try replacing the toner cartridge first. Typically, the drum unit is replaced after using 2-4 toner cartridges.
