Frequently Asked Questions

The box shows two codes, 89X and CF289X — which one do I match against my old cartridge?

They name the same cartridge. CF289X is HP's complete part number, the code printed on the cartridge label itself, while 89X is the shortened family name buyers usually search by. If either code appears on the unit you are pulling out of the printer, this cartridge is its replacement.

What does the 10,000-page rating mean for a run of closing binders?

It is measured at five per cent coverage, roughly a page of dense legal text, so contract work sits close to the test conditions. A closing set of several hundred pages barely dents it. The printer's supplies status page tracks the real countdown for your own document mix.

Streaks have started running down executed copies. Is the cartridge finished?

Vertical streaks and greying text are the classic end-of-life signs, and they often show before any dashboard warning. Lift the cartridge out, rock it gently from side to side to redistribute the toner, and refit it. If clean copies do not return, the unit is spent and should be replaced.

Which printers in the firm does this fit?

The CF289X serves HP's Enterprise 500-series monochrome platform, headed by machines like the LaserJet Enterprise M507n and running through the M507 and M528 families. The single-function and multifunction models on that platform all take this one code, which keeps ordering simple for whoever manages the supply cabinet.

Can I swap the cartridge in the middle of a print run?

Yes. Pause the job, slide the old unit out and the new one in until it seats with a click, then resume. The printer runs a brief calibration and carries on from where it stopped, so a long closing package does not need to restart from page one.

What protection backs the purchase?

Two protections apply if a unit misbehaves: a 1-year warranty on the cartridge itself, and 1-year free returns handled under the terms published on our shipping and returns page. Questions reach a real person Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST, and orders are dispatched from our sites in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California.

What does a page from this cartridge actually cost?

At $104.77 for a unit rated at 10,000 pages, the arithmetic gives about 1.05 cents a page at the standard coverage the rating assumes. For a practice measuring the cost of a closing package, that figure is the useful one: a several-hundred-page set carries only a few dollars of toner, and the cartridge's long rating means that cost stays stable across many successive matters.

How should a new cartridge be judged across its first days in the machine?

Keep its box and let ordinary work be the examination. Run the normal mix of documents and watch that density stays even and full across the first hundred pages or so; a CF289X that holds its quality through that stretch is proven for the long interval ahead. Only when the new unit has earned that confidence should the spent cartridge leave the building, so a doubtful start can still be isolated quickly.

Why do graphics-heavy exhibits run through this cartridge faster than contract text?

Because the 10,000-page rating is measured at five percent coverage, which sits close to a page of dense legal text. Exhibits with shaded blocks, charts and scanned images lay down considerably more toner on every sheet, so the supplies status countdown falls faster than the page count alone suggests. On mixed work, the status page, not the calendar and not the raw page tally, is the honest guide to when this cartridge will finish.

How far ahead should the replacement for this cartridge be ordered?

Use the supplies status page as the trigger: when its remaining estimate falls below the size of the largest closing package you would ever run in one matter, order. The CF289X's long interval makes its consumption unusually predictable, and that threshold guarantees the next unit is on the shelf before any single job could strand the machine, without tying up money in stock bought months earlier than needed.
