Frequently Asked Questions
Which cartridge is this, in part-number terms?
It is the CE278A — the cartridge HP markets as the 78A — in black, for the monochrome LaserJet M1536 series and the P1566 and P1606dn printers. This listing presents the cartridge at $83.33.
What page yield does it carry?
The family's standard rating: 2,100 pages of typical black text at the usual test coverage. Denser pages shorten the count, lighter ones extend it; the rating is the figure to plan supplies by.
On the M1536 machines, does it handle copies and faxes as well?
Yes — every black mark those multifunction machines put on paper, whether a printed document, a photocopy or a received fax, is laid down by this one cartridge. Scanning alone uses no toner.
How is it installed?
Raise the machine's top, take the finished cartridge out, unpack this one and remove its protective pieces, rock it slowly side to side so the toner settles evenly, and slide it in until it seats. Close the machine and normal service resumes within minutes.
How should it be kept if it is not fitted straight away?
Sealed, flat and indoors, somewhere dry and out of direct sunlight. There is no expiry procedure to follow — a toner cartridge in its packaging simply waits until the machine calls for it.
What backing comes with it?
A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, with the support team reachable Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST if you want help confirming whether a print problem starts with the cartridge.
