Why choose the genuine Lexmark C242XK0 toner cartridge
The C242XK0 is a genuine Lexmark toner. The powder is matched to the fuser and speed of these printers: sharp text, even solids, proper fusing from the first page, and a cartridge recognized immediately (levels shown, no error message). This reference belongs to the Lexmark Return Program: a reduced price in exchange for returning the empty cartridge to Lexmark for recycling (prepaid return).
The other colors of the series
The C242XK0 comes in the following colors, ordered separately as each one wears out: C242XC0 (cyan), C242XM0 (magenta), C242XY0 (yellow). On a color printer each color runs out at its own pace; replace only the empty one.
Printers compatible with the C242XK0
The list of compatible printers is not available for this reference. Check the reference of your current consumable in the printer's manual or menu: it must match C242XK0 exactly.
If in doubt, send us the exact model of your printer and we will confirm compatibility.
Page yield
6,000 pages (manufacturer data, about 5% coverage). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield. The cost per page shown next to the price is calculated from the current price and this yield.
Installation
Tool-free replacement: open the cover, remove the used cartridge, take the new one out of its bag, rock it gently to distribute the toner, remove the protections, then insert until it clicks. The printer recognizes the cartridge. The used cartridge is recycled through the manufacturer's take-back program or your local collection.
Use and tips
The C242XK0 suits intensive or shared use: the cartridge (6,000 pages) lasts about a year and a half at 300 pages per month and about 6 months at 1,000 pages per month.
Store the cartridge in its packaging, flat, away from light and humidity, and unpack it only when installing. At the "Low" alert, order: the printer keeps printing until the replace message. Genuine cartridges preserve the printer's warranty.
