Brother HL-2242D Toner & Drum FAQ (TN2230 / TN2250 / DR2225)
What is the difference between a toner cartridge and a drum unit?
Brother laser printers use a two-piece system:
• Toner Cartridge (TN2230 / TN2250) — holds the toner powder and is replaced regularly.
• Drum Unit (DR2225) — transfers the toner to the page and lasts for several toner cycles.
The drum does not contain toner and is replaced less often than the toner cartridge.
What toner and drum does the HL-2242D use?
The HL-2242D uses TN2230 and TN2250 black toner cartridges and the DR2225 drum unit.
Can I use compatible TN2250 toner and DR2225 drum units?
Yes. Compatible TN2250 toner and compatible DR2225 drum units are available for everyday mono printing. Genuine Brother supplies offer the most consistent print quality and reliability.
Does the HL-2242D support USB printing?
Yes. The HL-2242D supports printing via a standard USB A-to-B printer cable.
Should I update the firmware if I’m using compatible supplies?
If you are using compatible toner or drum units, avoid firmware updates, as they may block non-genuine chips. Genuine Brother consumables are not affected in the same way.
Where do orders ship from?
Orders are shipped from multiple warehouses across Australia for reliable service.
