Why choose the genuine Lexmark C242XY0 toner cartridge
The C242XY0 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). Colors stay consistent from one cartridge to the next.
The other colors of the series
The C242XY0 comes in the following colors, ordered separately as each one wears out: C242XK0 (black), C242XC0 (cyan), C242XM0 (magenta). On a color printer each color runs out at its own pace; replace only the empty one.
Printers compatible with the C242XY0
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 C242XY0 exactly.
If in doubt, send us the exact model of your printer and we will confirm compatibility.
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
Order the C242XY0 at the "Low" alert: the printer keeps printing until the replace message, but a cartridge in reserve avoids stopping at the wrong moment.
Store the cartridge in its packaging, flat, away from light and humidity, and unpack it only when installing. Genuine cartridges preserve the printer's warranty.
