FAX L200

One black cartridge keeps the Canon FAX L200 working: the FX-3, which Canon lists under the full part number 1557A002BA. The short name and the long number describe the same cartridge, and this page stocks it in the forms offices actually order — a single cartridge for a one-off change, packs of two, three and five for the supply shelf, and a premium-quality five-pack from the store's step-up compatible line.

The long number earns its place up front. Purchasing departments file orders by part number, and 1557A002BA is the string that has to match the purchase order, while FX-3 is the name printed on the cartridge and spoken across the office. Search or order by either one and you land on the same box. What matters is that the number on the cartridge you take out matches one of the two before the new one goes in — that ten-second check is the whole compatibility question on this machine.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Choose by how the machine is used rather than by habit. A L200 on a quiet line works through a cartridge slowly, and the single is the honest buy — toner that sits in a cupboard for years helps nobody. Once the fax carries a department's incoming orders or signed contracts, step up: the two-pack keeps one cartridge working and one waiting, and the three- and five-packs cut repeat ordering on busier lines. There is no separate high-yield FX-3; every listing holds the same cartridge, so the decision is purely how many you want on hand. The premium five-pack suits buyers who want the store's higher compatible line, bought in quantity.

Chip, toner and everyday use

The FAX L200 accepts a freshly seated cartridge with no setup on your side — close the cover and the machine is ready for the next incoming page. If received faxes start arriving light before the cartridge is truly finished, lift it out and rock it gently from side to side; the toner settles back across the roller and usually carries a while longer. Keep the spare in its packaging, lying flat, away from heat and direct light, and it will be ready the day the working cartridge finally gives up.
