Why choose the genuine HP 26X toner pack
The CF226XD is the high yield black cartridge of the HP 26 series. All-in-one cartridge: toner, imaging drum and developer are replaced together, so print quality is like new at every change, with no separate drum to replace. Genuine HP toner with JetIntelligence: smart level tracking, anti-fraud technology and maximized yield.
Pack or single cartridge?
The CF226XD bundles 2 black cartridges identical to the CF226X, 9,000 pages each: cheaper than cartridges bought separately, and no running out at the wrong moment. For a lightly used printer, the single cartridge is enough.
Printers compatible with the CF226XD
The CF226XD is compatible with 10 HP models (manufacturer list):
- HP LaserJet Pro M426m (1GP80A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M426fdw (F6W18A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M426fdw (F6W15A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M426fdn (F6W14A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M426dw (F6W13A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M402n (C5F93A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M402dw (C5F95A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M402dne (C5J91A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M402dn (C5F94A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M402d (C5F92A)
Check the exact reference of your printer (label at the back or Information menu); suffixes (dn, dw, fdw, n) are variants of the same series and use the same consumables.
Page yield
9,000 pages per cartridge per ISO/IEC 19752 (5% coverage, letter-type documents). 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 and maintenance
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, pull the protective tab if present, then insert until it clicks. The printer recognizes the cartridge and resets the counter. Used HP cartridges are returned free of charge through HP Planet Partners.
Use and tips
The CF226XD suits intensive or shared use: each cartridge (9,000 pages) lasts over 2 years at 300 pages per month and about 9 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 "Very low" then "Replace". The driver's EconoMode extends life for drafts. Genuine cartridges preserve the printer's HP warranty.
