Brother LT-340CL Optional 500-Sheet Lower Paper Tray
500 sheetsUp to 2 lower traysGenuine BrotherPlug-in, no tools
The Brother LT-340CL is a genuine optional lower paper tray that adds 500 sheets of 80 g/m2 paper - a full ream - to the HL-L8360CDW, HL-L9310CDW, MFC-L8900CDW, MFC-L9570CDW and the HL-L9430CDN / HL-L9470CDN / MFC-L9630CDN / MFC-L9635CDN / MFC-L9670CDN business colour lasers. It is the tray to choose when the goal is fewer paper refills on a busy shared printer.
The tray sits under the printer and is detected as an additional paper source. On supported models up to two lower trays can be fitted, so total input can be raised substantially without moving to a larger machine.
Before you order: LT-340CL does NOT fit the HL-L8260CDW, DCP-L8410CDW or MFC-L8690CDW - those models accept only the 250-sheet LT-330CL. Check the model name on the front of your printer before ordering.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Brother LT-340CL lower paper tray unit with 500-sheet paper cassette
- Printed safety/installation information
- Paper is not included
What It Means in Practice
- A full 500-sheet ream fits in one go, so a printer that runs through a ream a day needs refilling half as often.
- Paper weight 60-105 g/m2: plain, letterhead, coloured, thin and recycled paper. Labels, envelopes and card stay in the printer's MP tray.
- After fitting, enable the extra tray in the printer driver settings so Windows or macOS can route jobs to it.
What Will Not Work
- Not compatible with HL-L8260CDW, DCP-L8410CDW or MFC-L8690CDW (use LT-330CL).
- Not for the compact HL-L3200, DCP-L3500 or MFC-L3700 colour series, nor for HL-L8230CDW / HL-L8240CDW.
- It does not accept card above 105 g/m2, labels or envelopes, and does not add duplex or finishing functions.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have an MFC-L8690CDW. Can I use LT-340CL?
No. The MFC-L8690CDW, HL-L8260CDW and DCP-L8410CDW only accept the 250-sheet LT-330CL (up to three).
Can I fit two LT-340CL trays?
Yes on the HL-L9430CDN / HL-L9470CDN / MFC-L96x0CDN class. On the HL-L8360CDW, HL-L9310CDW, MFC-L8900CDW and MFC-L9570CDW, up to two lower trays can be combined.
Does the tray change the printer height?
Yes, by roughly 13 cm per tray, so check the space under shelves or in a cabinet.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
For a shared HL-L8360CDW or MFC-L8900CDW the LT-340CL is usually the better buy than the 250-sheet tray: it holds a full ream and cuts refill interruptions. The one trap is model fit - the HL-L8260CDW, DCP-L8410CDW and MFC-L8690CDW cannot take it. Toners and drums for these printers are in our
printer accessories range.
✓ Buy it if you have an HL-L8360CDW, HL-L9310CDW, MFC-L8900CDW, MFC-L9570CDW or HL-L9430CDN-class printer and want a 500-sheet second tray.
✕ Skip it if your printer is an HL-L8260CDW, DCP-L8410CDW or MFC-L8690CDW - choose LT-330CL instead.
→ Also consider Brother LT-330CL 250-sheet tray, which fits a wider range of models.
