Why choose the genuine Lexmark 512 toner cartridge
The 51B2000 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).
512 or 512X: which capacity?
The 51B2000 suits occasional or moderate use. For higher volumes, the 51B2X00 costs less per page and is replaced less often; both fit the same printers.
Printers compatible with the 51B2000
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 51B2000 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 51B2000 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.
