Printer Purchase Information (Important)

Printer warranties are provided directly by Brother, not Inkjet Online. For warranty, technical support or troubleshooting enquiries, customers should contact Brother Support, as Brother is best placed to diagnose printer faults and provide warranty assistance.

Change-of-mind returns are not accepted for printers. Once a printer has been opened, powered on or had toner or other consumables installed, it is non-returnable for change-of-mind purposes. Customers should carefully check the printer’s specifications, features, dimensions, connectivity and operating system compatibility before purchasing to ensure the model is suitable for their requirements.

USB Cable Information

A USB printer cable is not supplied with this printer. If you intend to connect the HL-L8430CDW directly to a computer via USB, a compatible USB printer cable will need to be purchased separately. Brother lists Hi-Speed USB 2.0 as one of the printer’s available interfaces.

Bulky Item Delivery

Printers are bulky items and are not eligible for free delivery. Additional freight charges apply and are calculated according to the printer, delivery location and available freight service.

Printers may be transported by road freight rather than air freight, depending on the model, destination and carrier. Road freight can take longer than standard delivery services, particularly for interstate and regional deliveries, so please allow additional transit time when ordering a printer.
