Brother TN-247BK Black High-Yield Original Toner
Up to 3,000 pagesOriginal BrotherBlackHL-L3210 – MFC-L3770 series
The Brother TN-247BK is an original Brother high-yield black toner cartridge rated for up to 3,000 pages (ISO/IEC 19798), made for the Brother HL-L3210CW, HL-L3230CDW, HL-L3270CDW, DCP-L3510CDW, DCP-L3550CDW, MFC-L3710CW, MFC-L3730CDN, MFC-L3750CDW and MFC-L3770CDW. It suits small offices where black text is most of the volume on a compact colour printer.
It prints three times the pages of the standard TN-243BK (approx. 1,000 pages) in the same slot, and the printer itself ships with only about 1,000 pages of starter toner — so the TN-247BK is the usual first purchase.
What's in the Box
- 1 × Brother TN-247BK black high-yield original toner cartridge
What It Means in Practice
- The page count is the manufacturer's declared yield, measured with the ISO/IEC 19798 test method (about 5% coverage per page). Photos, full-page graphics and heavy fills use more toner, so real-world counts are often lower.
- TN-243 and TN-247 cartridges fit the same printers and can be mixed colour by colour.
- The drum set (DR-243CL), belt (BU-223CL) and waste toner box (WT-223CL) are separate parts with their own life — this cartridge replaces only the black toner.
- Store unopened cartridges flat in their original packaging, away from direct sunlight and heat, and open the sealed bag only when you install it.
- Before ordering, check the code printed on the cartridge currently in your printer, or the supplies page of the printer menu — matching that code is the fastest way to be sure.
What Will Not Work
- Printers that are not on the compatible list below, even models with a similar name — supply codes are model-specific.
- The newer Brother range (HL-L3220CW, DCP-L3520CDW, MFC-L3740CDW and later) — those printers take TN-248 cartridges.
- Older HL-3150/MFC-9340 series printers — they use TN-241/242/246.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an original Brother cartridge?
Yes — an original Brother supply in manufacturer packaging, not a compatible, remanufactured or refilled product.
TN-243BK or TN-247BK?
Same printers, different yield: the TN-247BK prints approx. 3,000 pages versus approx. 1,000 for the TN-243BK, so it costs less per page.
Does it fit the newer HL-L3220CW?
No. The HL-L3220CW generation uses TN-248 cartridges; check the model on the front of your printer.
How long will one cartridge last?
Divide the declared yield by your monthly volume: at 500 pages a month and standard coverage, a 3,000-page cartridge lasts roughly 6 months. Heavy graphics shorten that.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
On an HL-L3270CDW or MFC-L3750CDW the black runs out first, so the TN-247BK is the cartridge to keep as a spare; the colour cartridges can stay standard if colour is occasional. You can browse our
original toner and drum range for the matching colours, drums and other supplies.
✓ Buy it if your printer is one of the HL-L3210CW – MFC-L3770CDW models listed and you print mostly black.
✕ Skip it if your printer is an HL-L3220CW, DCP-L3520CDW or MFC-L3740CDW — you need TN-248 instead.
→ Also consider TN-243BK standard black, or the TN-247C/M/Y high-yield colours.
