Cross-reference: HP CF226X, the 26X high-yield toner cartridge (9,000 pages), is the same cartridge Canon sells as Canon Cartridge 052 (standard yield, 3,100 pages) and Cartridge 052H (high yield, 9,200 pages) for the Canon imageCLASS LBP214dw, LBP215dw, MF424dw, MF426dw and MF429dw printers (ISO/IEC standard yields).
Frequently Asked Questions
I searched for 26X — why does a second code appear on this page?
Because the cartridge family behind the 26X name — CF226X — is the same family also designated CF226A, the 26A. This two-pack is listed under both codes deliberately: buyers arrive by either code, and both describe the cartridges in this box.
What do the two cartridges in the pack give me?
A working cartridge and its successor. Fit the first, shelve the second, and the next changeover happens entirely on your schedule instead of the courier's, which is how routine maintenance ought to feel in a well-run office.
Which machines are covered?
The LaserJet M402dn, the wider M402 series and the M426 multifunctions. If the cartridge coming out of your printer is stamped CF226X or CF226A, this pack belongs to that machine.
How can I tell a cartridge is nearing its end?
Print lightens, often unevenly, and the printer's toner gauge trends toward empty. A gentle rock of the cartridge levels the remaining toner for a short grace period — long enough to finish the run and reach for the spare. With the second cartridge already on site, that warning never has to become a stoppage or a rush order.
Does the spare suffer from waiting on the shelf?
Not when it stays sealed, flat and out of heat. The box is the storage system; a supply drawer in a normal office is all it asks.
What backing does the pack carry?
Both cartridges sit under a 1-year warranty, with 1-year free returns detailed on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California; help is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
About This 26X Dual-Code Two Pack
Two black cartridges for the LaserJet Pro M402 and M426 families, presented under the family's two designations — CF226X (26X) and CF226A (26A) — because that is how the cartridge is genuinely sold and searched for by the people who keep these printers running every working day. A two-pack is the working rhythm of a single busy printer: one in service, one in reserve, no drama in between. See HP for the platform's wider range. Priced at $50.95.
