With chip · replaces Brother TN-241M / TN-245M · up to 2,200 pages · for Brother HL-3140CW HL-3150CDW MFC-9330CDW

The Plutoos TN-241 TN-245 Magenta is a compatible replacement toner cartridge for the original Brother TN-241M / TN-245M — with a yield of up to 2,200 pages according to ISO/IEC 19798. The cartridge is supplied with a chip: automatic recognition and toner level display as usual.

Right before the invitation cards go to print, your Brother MFC-9140CDN or HL-3170CDW reports: magenta empty. With this compatible single cartridge you swap only the used-up color — the chip is already fitted, and up to 2,200 pages of consistent ISO-standard color printing are back on the table: premium quality at around half the price of the original. Your printer's warranty is unaffected; it remains valid under Swiss and EU law. The other cartridges stay in the machine — and the difference stays in your budget.

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

Compatible printer models

Note on firmware updates: As a rule, only the latest firmware versions of a printer are able to identify and restrict compatible cartridges. Many customers and user forums report that compatible cartridges keep working without interruption when automatic firmware updates remain switched off in the printer settings. The decision rests solely with the customer.

Package contents

Page yield according to ISO/IEC 19798, at approx. 5 % page coverage.

Installation & first use

1. Unpack the toner cartridge only just before use.
2. Gently rock the cartridge 5–6 times horizontally (side to side) to distribute the toner powder evenly.
3. Remove the protective seal/strip.
4. Insert the cartridge until it clicks into place — the chip is recognized automatically, no resetter needed.
5. Confirm the non-genuine cartridge message with OK — this is normal.
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

• «Toner low» message: This message often appears early. Remove the cartridge and gently rock it side to side to redistribute the remaining powder — this often yields many more pages.
• Toner vs. drum: Two different consumables. The toner cartridge holds the powder that is used up as you print; the drum unit transfers the image onto the paper and has its own lifespan. Streaks, spots or ghosting usually point to the drum, not the toner.
• Firmware updates: Printer manufacturers occasionally release updates that restrict the recognition of non-original cartridges — as a rule, only the latest firmware versions are able to identify and block compatible cartridges. Many customers and user forums report that those who want to use compatible cartridges improve their chances of trouble-free operation when automatic firmware updates remain switched off in the printer settings. If an update has already been installed and messages such as “Cartridge not compatible” or “Ink level low” appear, other customers report that rolling the firmware back to the previous version has helped — instructions can be found via a Google/YouTube search for your printer model and “firmware downgrade”. We pass on these experiences of other customers in good faith; whether and how you apply them is solely your decision and responsibility — results may vary from printer to printer.
