Frequently Asked Questions
Which cartridge code goes in the black slot of a CM1312nfi?
The black station takes CB540A, the black member of the 125A family. The label on the cartridge you pull out should read the same; if your supply list was written from the cartridge rather than the manual, CB540A is the number to order against.
Why does the nfi burn through black faster than expected?
The Color LaserJet CM1312nfi is a fax-equipped multifunction machine, and every received fax prints in black. Add walk-up copies and ordinary office printing and the black cartridge carries three workloads at once, so it empties well ahead of the color stations.
How far will one of these cartridges go in that machine?
Plan on roughly 2,200 pages per cartridge at standard coverage. A fax-heavy week of multi-page documents pulls the real figure down; light printing stretches it. The rating is a guide for ordering rhythm, not a guarantee per job.
Faxes are coming out pale but prints look fine — what is going on?
Received faxes print at a lighter default density than documents sent from a computer, so a nearly empty black cartridge shows up on faxes first. Rock the cartridge gently side to side and refit it; if the next fax is still washed out, the supply is spent and this replacement is the answer.
Do I need to change anything on the machine when I fit it?
No settings or menus are involved. Open the front, lift out the old black unit, seat this one until it sits level, and close up — the nfi carries on printing, copying and receiving faxes as before. Keep the empty cartridge out of the paper path area while you work so no loose toner dust reaches the feed rollers.
What warranty stands behind this cartridge?
Clever Supplies covers it with a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns — twelve months of protection from the day it arrives.
About This CM1312nfi Black Cartridge (CB540A)
This is the single black cartridge for the CM1312nfi, priced at $34.86. It is sold singly because black is the station this fax-and-copy workhorse consumes on its own schedule; there is no reason to touch the colors when only the fax line has gone pale.
We dispatch from the IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses depending on your address, with delivery and returns details on the shipping & returns page. Real people answer questions Monday through Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST, and the rest of the HP range is one visit away if the machine needs anything else.
