Why choose the genuine HP 824A imaging drum
The drum (photoconductor) lays the toner onto the sheet; it is a wear part separate from the toner and outlasts several cartridges. A genuine HP drum keeps sharpness and avoids marks repeated at regular intervals; the printer tracks its wear and signals replacement.
Drum and toner: two consumables
The toner holds the powder; the 824A drum lays it on the sheet. The drum lasts about 23,000 pages. Marks repeated at regular intervals or a gray background: it is the drum to change, not the toner.
Printers compatible with the 824A
The 824A is compatible with the following models and series (manufacturer data):
- HP Color LaserJet CM6030 MFP
- HP Color LaserJet CM6030f MFP
- HP Color LaserJet CM6040 MFP
- HP Color LaserJet CM6040f MFP
- HP Color LaserJet CP6015dn
- HP Color LaserJet CP6015n
- HP Color LaserJet CP6015xh
Check the exact reference of your printer (label or Information menu); suffixes are variants of the same series and generally use the same consumables. If in doubt, send us the exact model.
Page yield
23,000 pages (manufacturer data, about 5% coverage). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield.
Installation
Tool-free replacement: open the cover, remove the used assembly, unpack the new drum without touching the green surface or exposing it to light for long, refit and close. Follow the guide to reset the counter if the printer asks for it.
Use and tips
The 824A drum is replaced far less often than the toner: about 23,000 pages. The printer's counter tracks its wear and warns ahead of time.
Keep the drum in its packaging until installation; do not touch the green surface and limit exposure to light. Marks repeated at regular intervals or a gray background: replace the drum, not the toner.
