Who It’s For

If you’re still running one of the listed Brother colour lasers and you’re not ready to admit the whole setup is a decade old, this tray will double your paper capacity and keep the beast shuffling sheets. It’s for budget-conscious owners who need 500 extra sheets and aren’t afraid to swap a pickup roller.

Real-World Use Cases

• Small office or school department running a HL-4570CDW or MFC-9970CDW where the main 250-sheet tray runs dry by lunch. Slap this on, load A4, and stop playing paper jockey.
• Shared printer in a workshop or reception area — reduces refill frequency and keeps people from shouting “it’s out of paper” every 20 minutes.

Key Advantages

• 500‑sheet capacity – triples the total input to 750 sheets on most listed models; actually useful for medium-volume printing without babysitting the tray.
• Easy to service – pickup rollers and separation pads are widely available and cheap to replace; you can revive a tired used tray for under $25 and half an hour of work.

Practical Considerations

• Compatibility is locked – only works with the exact models listed. Upgrade your printer later and this tray becomes e-waste. No cross-generational tricks.
• Used units nearly always need rollers – budget $15–25 and some swearing to replace the pickup roller and separation pad. Skip that step and you’ll curse misfeeds until you fix it.
• You must configure the driver – it’s not plug-and-play. Go into printer settings, run “Detect Options” or manually add the tray. Otherwise your print queue won’t see it.
• Height sneak attack – printer + tray stands about 40–45 cm tall. That standard bookshelf gap of 38 cm? You’re now buying a new desk.
• No lock – slide carefully – the tray pulls out fully with no detent. Yank it like a drawer and it’ll land on your foot. Common sense applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Will this tray work with my Brother HL-L2370DW? No. It only fits the older colour models listed. Different mounting system, different firmware. Save your money.
• Q: I bought a used LT-300CL and it jams constantly. What do I do? Replace the pickup roller and separation pad. Part numbers are available from Precision Roller or similar suppliers. New parts cost ~$20 and take 20 minutes to swap. Worn rollers are the #1 cause of jams on these trays.
• Q: How does it compare to a Brother LT-330CL? The LT-330CL is for a different printer generation (e.g. HL-L8350CDW). It physically looks similar but the alignment pegs and electronics differ. If you try to force an LT-330CL onto your MFC-9970CDW it won’t line up right.
• Q: What is the warranty and local support in Australia? New units from Brother carry a 12-month limited warranty. Used trays from eBay or resellers typically have zero warranty – you’re on your own. Replaceable parts are sold by Brother Australia direct or via office supply distributors. Service support is available through Brother’s local call centre for driver/configuration issues, but they won’t fix a worn roller over the phone.
