Difference between Brother TN760 and DR730

Many guests will encounter various troubles when purchasing consumables for their printers, especially when you are a user of a printer with drum and toner separation structure, you will often encounter the situation of buying wrong products, such as wanting a toner cartridge but buying a drum unit.

Let’s learn some basic knowledge first:

What is toner cartridge?

Toner cartridges contain a finite amount of toner powder, so they can only print a limited amount of pages. You need to replace the toner cartridge when the toner is running short or print quality becomes poor because of toner deterioration. TN730 / TN760 toner cartridge usually use together with DR730 Drum Unit. 

The following video shows you what is TN760 toner cartridge: 

What is drum unit?

Drum unit is just a shelf and does not contain toner powder, therefore, you need to add the toner cartridge into the drum unit before you use it.

The drum unit has longer service life than the toner cartridge. It usually only needs to be replaced after about 3-5 toner cartridges have been replaced. Some drum units can last a little longer. The laser printer puts the toner on the roller called “The photosensitive drum” inside the drum unit, and then prints letters and images by fixing toner to the paper by heat and pressure.

What is Toner and Drum Combo Pack?

Before putting it into the printer, you need to install the TN760 toner cartridge into the DR730 drum unit, then you can print normally.

It is worth noting that different toner cartridges match unique drum units. For example, the TN660 toner corresponds to DR630 drum, while the TN760 toner corresponds to DR730 drum. They cannot be mixed, otherwise they will not be installed correctly.
