Plutoos TN-3170 Toner + DR-3100 Drum Set Compatible with Brother TN-3170 DR-3100 8,000 + 25,000 pages for HL-5240 HL-5250DN

🖨️ TN-3170 + DR-3100: toner and drum in one set — up to 8,000 + 25,000 pages

Works like the original · toner 8,000 pages + drum unit approx. 25,000 pages · for Brother HL-5240, HL-5250DN, HL-5250DNT

✓ Works like the original🖨️ Toner up to 8,000 pages🔄 Drum approx. 25,000 pages🇨🇭 Swiss warehouse

The Plutoos TN-3170 + DR-3100 set replaces the two consumables of your Brother mono laser in one order: the compatible TN-3170 toner cartridge with up to 8,000 pages and the DR-3100 drum unit rated for approx. 25,000 pages. The printer detects and uses both exactly like the originals — no chip, no setup.

On an HL-5250DN or MFC-8860DN in office duty, toner and drum retire on different clocks — and the drum's end always looks like a printer defect. This set ends the guesswork: both parts new, up to 8,000 + 25,000 pages of supply, for a fraction of the price of two originals. Companies order once, pay by invoice, and the machine is off the topic list.

Ships the same working day from our Swiss warehouse, 60-day return policy on unopened items.

Package contents

TypeItemYield
Toner cartridgePlutoos TN-3170 (replaces Brother TN-3170 / TN-580)up to 8,000 pages
Drum unitPlutoos DR-3100 (replaces Brother DR-3100)approx. 25,000 pages

Toner yield per ISO/IEC 19752, 5 % coverage. Drum yield rated in page turns, independent of toner level.

Installation & first use

  1. Unpack both parts only right before installing.
  2. Gently rock the toner cartridge 5–6 times horizontally to distribute the toner, then remove the protective seal.
  3. Click the toner cartridge into the new drum unit, then insert the assembly until it clicks into place.
  4. Confirm the non-genuine cartridge message with OK — this is normal.
  5. After replacing the drum, reset the drum counter (menu or front-cover button, as described in your printer's manual).
  6. Caution: never touch the green drum roller — fingerprints and scratches cause permanent print defects.

Care & storage

  • Store cool, dry and dark — away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
  • Never touch the drum surface or expose it to direct light.
  • Store the cartridge horizontally, in its original protective bag.
  • Once opened, use the cartridge up rather than storing it — opened toner cartridges attract humidity and dust over time.

Good to know

  • Works like the original: The printer detects and uses both parts exactly like the originals.
  • «Toner low» message: This message often appears early. Remove the cartridge and gently rock it side to side — this often yields many more pages.
  • Toner vs. drum: Two different consumables — fading print points to the toner, streaks and repeating marks to the drum. This set renews both.
  • Drum yield: Rated in page turns and independent of the toner level.

Troubleshooting

ProblemSolution

Frequently asked questions

❓ Does a compatible set void my printer warranty?

No. Under Swiss and EU law the warranty remains valid unless the consumable demonstrably caused the defect.

❓ Does my printer recognize the set?

Yes — exactly like the originals. No chip, no setup; only the drum counter needs a reset after installing the new drum.

❓ Why replace toner and drum together?

The drum wears in page turns regardless of toner level. If streaks appear or the drum is near its approx. 25,000 pages, replacing both at once saves a second order — and print quality returns completely.

❓ Is the print quality the same as the original?

Yes — toner powder matched to the Brother laser printing technology, produced to ISO 9001 standard.

❓ How fast is delivery?

Ordered before 5 p.m. and in stock: your order leaves our Swiss warehouse the same working day — delivered mostly the next working day, latest the 2nd. Free shipping across Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Live stock and the expected delivery date are shown at the top next to the add-to-cart button — if out of stock, we deliver as soon as possible, usually within 15 days.
