Brother Hl-2142 Mono Laser Printer Drum Cartridge If I Buy A Laser Printer Do I Have To Get Both Toner And A Drum For It To Work?

If I buy a Laser Printer do I have to get both toner and a drum for it to work? - brother hl-2142 mono laser printer drum cartridge

If I buy the Brother HL-2142 Mono Laser Printer also buy Brother DR-2125 drum Brother TN-2130 Toner Cartridge work for them?

What is the difference between toner and drum? It seems that with one without the other (I'm confused can print). The drum is just a more expensive type of toner print qulity.

You can think of the drum and toner like an ink cartridge and print head. The toner is like the ink (ie the black stuff that goes onto the page) and the drum houses the toner cartridge (just like the print head houses the ink cart). The toner needs to be replaced when it runs out. The drum needs to be replaced when you start to get lines or 'blank' spots on your print. You will need to replace your drum after every 4 or so toners.

I have a Brother HL 1240
He came with a drum and toner.
The toner will last long, the battery will drag on for years

The printer comes with toner and drum. The more time passes, you will need to purchase regular toner cartridges and possibly new purchase in May on a new cartridge. However, laser thousands of pages in a single toner cartridge can print, and in a drum, so even cheaper than other types of printers.

The cartridge is the equivalent of ink. The drum is a piece of the printer deposits ink on paper, as it rolls on the drum. The toner is exhausted, and then you need a new toner cartridge for more (ink). The drums are worn and need replacing. Batteries last a long time.

No, they come with an already

Just buy the toner and drum, something much later, as needed

Toner is depleted, some ink


The drum lasts for several thousand pages, is a type of heating device, the toner is very small plastic melts in a kind of ink,
Laser printer paper is very hot!

The included software will show all the status information during the installation

I have 2 Brother HL-2040 printer. Refill toner purchased on eBay for $ 6, but it is also called a $ 3 piece of hardware reset in order to fill the cartridge. The printers have lasted several years and thousands of printed pages. Not bad for around $ 50. I have never replaced the drum.
