BROTHER HL 1240 PRINTER SPECIFICATIONS

Released in 1999 the Brother the multi-platform HL1240, HL1250 and HL1270N possesses printing speed of up to 12 ppm, true output of 600 x 600 dpi and first page printing in 14 seconds.

When compared to its predecessors, the printers HL1040 and HL1050, the new HL1200 series offers no engine changes except a slightly small footprint, stylish design and some modifications to the paper trays setup, paper handling capacity and two options of toner cartridges.

Depending on the market the drum and toner cartridges codes for the three models can vary. For North and South America the drum unit has a code DR400 giving some 20000 prints while the corresponding toner cartridges carry numbers TN430 for 3000 pages and TN460 for 6000 pages at 5%. For other territories, the codes are DR6000 for the drum unit, TN6300 for the 3000 pages and TN6600 for the 6000 pages respectively.

The compatibility of either code is wide as these cartridges can be used in quite a number of printers, fax and multifunction equipment as follows:

HL- 1440 / HL-1450 / HL-1470N / HL1470N HLP2500 MFP / INTELLIFAX 4750 / 5750 / 8350P 8750P / MFC-2500 / MFC-8300 / MFC-8500 MFC-8600 / MFC-8700 / MFC-8750P MFC-8750P-NLT / MFC-9600 / MFC-9650 MFC-9650N / MFC-9660 / MFC-9660N / MFC-9750 MFC-9750LT / MFC-9850 / MFC-9870LT MFC-9970MLT / MFC-9980 / MFC-9980N MFC-P2500 / PP1630 / PPF4750 / PPF5750

Some of the characteristics of the toner and drum cartridge are of interest:

The toner cartridge carries the developer roller and the doctor blade together with the hopper .The drum unit carry the OPC drum, the transfer roller, the drum cleaning assembly( including the recovery blade) and the primary charg- ing corona.

In all, the electrophotographic system used in the above mentioned equipment in spite of the use of corotron is of radical design as the developer roller is in direct contact with the drum such as happens with some of Lexmark Optra series and the waste bin is designed to hold a very small amount of toner.

Instead of wiper blade the cartridge uses a polarized felt to clean the drum but at the same time by means of switching polarities send captured particles of unused toner back to the drum and to the developer roller to enter the hopper again.

The following remanufacturing instructions will apply specifically to the TN-430 and TN 460 toner cartridge.
