Which printers does the TN5000PF fit?

It fits the Brother HL-720, HL-730 and HL-760 printers, the Fax-1030, Fax-3550, Fax-3650 and Fax-3750, the IntelliFax-2550ML, 2600, 2750, 3550, 3650 and 3750, and the MFC-4300 through MFC-9550 series. Check your model against that list before ordering.

How many pages does it print?

Brother rates it at about 2,200 pages. Real yield depends on how much ink each page uses, so dense documents will run out sooner.

Is it a genuine Brother cartridge?

Yes, the TN5000PF is a Brother-branded cartridge. That matters on these older machines, which can be fussy about third-party chips and refills.

Does it include the drum unit?

No. It is toner only. The drum is a separate part on these printers and is replaced on its own schedule.

Will it work in a newer Brother printer?

No. It is built for the legacy fax, HL and MFC models listed above. Current Brother laser printers take different cartridge numbers.

Is it worth it over a refill?

For a machine still in service, the genuine cartridge avoids the smudging and chip errors that cheap refills sometimes cause. If the printer is rarely used, a remanufactured option may be enough.
