Frequently Asked Questions

I like keeping a spare ready. Is this a sensible cartridge to stock?

Very much so. The W1340X is a single sealed unit with a rated life of 2,400 pages, so one box on the shelf represents a long stretch of printing held in reserve. When the fitted cartridge finally fades, the change takes a minute and the ordering of the next spare can happen calmly afterwards.

How should a spare be stored to stay perfect?

In its sealed bag and box, lying flat, in a normal room — a desk drawer or office cupboard is ideal. Keep it away from radiators, sunny windowsills and damp. Toner is dry powder; stored like that, a cartridge waits a year or more without its first page suffering for it.

What is the rocking trick I keep hearing about?

When output starts to fade, powder has settled toward one end of the cartridge. Lifting the unit out and rocking it gently side to side five or six times levels what remains, and the fade often clears for a good run of pages. It uses toner you already own before you open the spare.

How do I know when rocking is no longer enough?

When the fade returns within a page or two of a good rock, the powder is genuinely gone rather than merely settled. That is the cartridge's honest end — on printers like the LaserJet M209dw there is no further adjustment to make, and the spare from the shelf takes over.

Is this cartridge the whole replacement, drum included?

Yes — one complete HP 134X unit at $41.19, with the imaging drum built into the cartridge. There is no second part to order and nothing to transfer from the old unit, which is what makes stocking a single spare such a complete insurance policy.

What if the spare turns out to be faulty when fitted?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with the full terms on our shipping and returns page. Orders ship from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This HP 134X Black Toner Cartridge

This compatible HP 134X (W1340X) black cartridge is listed among the HP toner cartridges at Clever Supplies. It is the planner's cartridge: bought ahead, stored without ceremony, and fitted in a minute on the one day a year the printer actually asks for attention.

The full fit list is short: this cartridge serves the LaserJet M209dw, the LaserJet M234dw and the LaserJet M234sdw, and nothing outside those three. For lighter volumes, the standard-yield 134A (W1340A) cartridge covers the same printers at 1,150 pages per cartridge. The same cartridge comes as a 134X (W1340X) two-pack for shelf spares.
