Disappointed with print output

Also getting no where near the 1200 pages ... I purchased this on 3/20/2020 and was only able to print out 574 pages. Printer just stopped printing when Replace toner display came up. I am only printing b/w text ,but do a great deal of scanning. Does this affect toner cartridge?.. Granted it is a starter cartridge, but I should get a good deal more volume.Wish Brother would recommend settings for different user types. This is getting very expensive.

Hello, stated page yields for genuine Brother cartridges are based on the ISO testing standards. The number of pages that can be printed with a cartridge is affected by several factors, including paper size, number of pages per print job, amount of print on each page, font size, and print content (graphics, charts, etc.). Print jobs with large text fonts, graphics, charts, and/or large amount of solid coverage (black or any given color) will use much more toner and will shorten the life of the toner cartridge.

Horrible...printed 300 pages then ran out of toner

Purchased the MFC-L2750DW printer. After the starter cartridge emptied, I purchased the TN-730. I average about 100 pages a month. After 3 months and 350 pages, it ran out! 1/4th of the 1200 page yield. Do not recommend and next time I have to buy a printer, it won't be Brother.

Nice cartridge but….

The toner cartridge was easy to load & it worked great, right away. I wish the cost were less expensive. I went to toner instead of ink because I thought it would be. I’d like a recycling label to come in the new toner box. My old toner cartridge is waiting to be recycled because I’m having trouble accessing the paperwork.

Worked briefly. Then stopped early in toner life

This toner worked for a while. Then we got a printer jam. I removed the cartridge while fixing the jam. When I put it back in, the printer stopped working saying that the cartridge isn't a legitimate Brother toner cartridge. I bought it new and it is in fact from Brother. It's just really frustrating.

Wrong Cartridge selected by printer software

Brother software running on my computer incorrectly led to 730 toner, when I actually needed 850. I had opened the package before realizing it wouldn't fit. Brother gave me a lot of pushback about returning it for credit, but finally relented. Reason for replacing Brother cartridge prematurely was that it was leaking messy black powder onto printing. Third-party cartridge was much less expensive, less than half the cost, and is working great.

You will not get close to 1200

Starter cartridge lasted 785 pages at 4.75% (printing shipping labels 12mos) after hitting continue mode for 3 months. This TN730 has printed 844 pages at 4.43% and has been on continue mode for a couple months. Won’t get many more pages that will be scannable. You can see your output by hitting menu start menu, (see 0) hit up button, go to maintenance 77. It’ll print your report.

Great printer. Toner will not last what's quoted.

My printer didn't make it to 400 pages. I printed A4 and Letter documents and almost no graphics or images. Most of the time I set the printer to its lowest dpi setting. Great printer, but halve the promised/expected number of printed pages per cartridge.

TN730 Cartridge

Bought the Brother HL-L230DW on the advise of a friend and so far the printer has been great. What is not great is the TN730 cartridge...just started getting a Low Toner warning but according to the page counter on the printer I've only printed 153 pages yet the specs say that I should get 2000 pages. Even if I got 1000 pages I'd feel pretty good about the cartridge but 153 pages is just stupid...I might as well kept my inkjet printer at that rate. C'mon Brother...you can do better than this.

We understand that you are unhappy with the page yield of the Brother TN-730 toner cartridge and we'd like to help. The TN-730 toner cartridge yields approximately 1,200 pages based on the ISO/IEC 19752 testing standards. The number of pages that can be printed with a cartridge is affected by several factors, including paper size, number of pages per print job, amount of print on each page, font size, and print content. Print jobs with large text fonts, graphics, charts, and/or large amount of solid coverage will use much more toner and, naturally, will shorten the life of the toner cartridge. If you feel that you have printed less pages than advertised, feel free to contact Brother Customer Service directly at https://www.brother-usa.com/support

Disappointing performance!

We have been using the same Brother printer for several years and have no issues with the machine's performance. We normally use the TN-760 cartridges. This time we ordered a TN730. It has been installed for 9 days and is already giving a low toner indication. We understand that how much toner is used per page determines how many pages it will print, but this is unacceptable for the amount of money charged. There's not near enough toner in the cartridge to justify the cost.

TONER TN 730

I am so disappointed in the toner here. The machine is great but my goodness i am an accountant and i am going through toner so fast I may have to just buy a new machine. What a shame. BROTHER do something to fix this mess. Right now feeling like i should have went with HP.
