Full Technical Specifications

Compatible Toner Cartridges — TN-441, TN-443 & TN-446

The Brother MFC-L8690CDW is one of the few office colour laser printers in Australia to offer three toner yield tiers — letting you match your cartridge cost to your actual print volume. All genuine Brother toner cartridges for this printer are available from CartridgesDirect.

TN-441 — Standard Yield Toner Cartridges Standard

Best suited to lower-volume offices or colour printing that's occasional rather than constant. Standard yield cartridges carry a lower upfront cost.

TN-443 — High Yield Toner Cartridges High Yield

The most popular choice for regular colour printing. Higher page yields mean a lower cost-per-page and fewer cartridge changes for busy offices.

TN-446 — Super High Yield Toner Cartridges Super High Yield

Maximum pages per cartridge, minimum interruption. The TN-446 delivers the lowest cost-per-page and is the smart choice for high-volume offices that print colour every day.

DR-441CL — Drum Unit (Separate Consumable)

The MFC-L8690CDW uses a separate drum unit that is replaced independently from the toner cartridges — a cost-saving design that means you only replace components as they are needed.

Who Is the Brother MFC-L8690CDW Best Suited For?

Designed for small to medium businesses that print, scan, copy and fax in colour daily, the MFC-L8690CDW covers a wide range of Australian office environments:

Why Choose the Brother MFC-L8690CDW?

That flexibility, combined with the separate drum unit design, gives your business genuine control over print running costs.

Add 31ppm colour speed, a lightning-fast 56ipm single-pass duplex scanner, built-in fax, NFC tap-to-print, a large colour touchscreen and Brother's industry-leading 3-year on-site warranty, and the MFC-L8690CDW is a compelling long-term choice for any Australian office.
