Why choose the genuine HP 83X toner cartridge
The CF283X is the high yield black cartridge of the HP 83 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 powder matched to the fuser and paper of these printers: sharp text, even solids, no "cartridge not recognized" message.
83X or 83A: which capacity?
The CF283X is the high yield version (2,200 pages) of the CF283A (1,500 pages): same cartridge, same printers, more toner. Above about a hundred pages a month it is the most economical choice per page. The CF283AD pack (2 cartridges) lowers the unit cost further.
Printers compatible with the CF283X
The CF283X is compatible with 2 HP models (manufacturer list):
- HP LaserJet Pro M202n (C6N20A)
- HP LaserJet Pro M201n; (CF455A)
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
2,200 pages 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 CF283X suits regular office use: the cartridge (2,200 pages) lasts about 7 months at 300 pages per month and about 2 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.
