What toner does my printer use?

Published in Printer Supplies 2 mins read

The easiest way to determine what toner your printer uses is to check the toner cartridge itself or your printer's documentation.

Here's a breakdown of how to find the correct toner:

  • Check the Toner Cartridge: Most toner cartridges have a part number printed directly on them. Carefully remove the toner cartridge from your printer and look for a series of letters and numbers (e.g., TN-450, HP 12A, Canon 128). This is the toner cartridge model number you need.

  • Consult Your Printer's Manual: Your printer's manual (either physical or online) will list the compatible toner cartridges. Look for sections titled "Supplies," "Consumables," or "Specifications."

  • Search Online by Printer Model: You can search online for your printer model and the word "toner." For example, if you have a "Brother HL-L2300D" printer, search for "Brother HL-L2300D toner." This should quickly provide you with the correct toner cartridge model.

  • Check the Printer Manufacturer's Website: Visit the printer manufacturer's website (e.g., HP, Canon, Brother, Epson) and navigate to the support section for your specific printer model. You'll typically find a list of compatible supplies, including toner cartridges.

By following these steps, you can confidently identify and purchase the correct toner for your printer.
