Frequently Asked Questions

What does this 2 pack contain for the M507x?

Two CF289A cartridges — the standard 89A for the LaserJet Enterprise M507x — each rated at 5,000 pages and sealed individually, at $161.23 for the pair. One cartridge covers the change the touchscreen is currently predicting; the second covers the change after that.

Why does a shared departmental printer justify a spare?

Because its users are many and its owner is effectively no one. On the M507x, a whole department releases jobs at the same panel, and an empty printer at 9 a.m. becomes everyone's problem at once. A boxed spare beside the machine means the person who finds it dry also fixes it, in about a minute.

How far ahead does the pair plan our printing?

10,000 pages in total. A department printing a few thousand pages a month — reports, forms, released documents — will work through one cartridge in a couple of months, so the pack frames toner as a quarterly habit: fit the spare, order the next pair, forget about it in between.

Could the spare instead feed a different printer?

Easily. The CF289A is the cartridge for the entire M507 and M528 platform, so the reserve can be redirected to any sibling machine that runs dry first. Departments often hold one shared spare for exactly that reason — the pack simply gives you two units to allocate as events dictate.

How should the reserve cartridge be kept?

Sealed in its box on a shelf near the printer, flat and away from heat and bright light. Toner cartridges store without losing capacity — the powder is inert — so the reserve will be at full strength whenever the panel next calls for it, whether that is next month or next quarter.

What protection covers both cartridges?

Each carries a 1-year warranty, and the order is backed by 1-year free returns under our shipping and returns page. The spare's cover runs while it waits, not just once fitted. Orders are dispatched from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, and support runs Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What does each cartridge in the pair effectively cost?

The pair is $161.23 for two CF289A cartridges, which works out to about $80.62 per cartridge — less per unit than the same cartridge bought one at a time. Spread over the pair's combined 10,000 rated pages, that is roughly 1.6 cents of toner per page at standard coverage, which is the number to carry into a departmental cost-per-page comparison.

Does it matter which of the two cartridges we fit first?

No. The two CF289A units in the pack are identical and interchangeable, so fit whichever box comes to hand and keep the other sealed. The only discipline worth observing is not to open the second cartridge's seal until the day it is actually fitted — an unopened unit stores indefinitely, while an opened one is best put straight into service.

When should we order the next pair?

The day the reserve cartridge goes into the M507x. That moment — not the day the fitted cartridge eventually runs low — is the natural reorder trigger, because it restores the arrangement the pack was bought for: one cartridge working, one waiting. Ordering then means the new pair arrives while the fitted cartridge still has most of its 5,000 pages ahead of it.

How do we confirm the change took properly on the touchscreen model?

After fitting, open the supplies status screen on the M507x panel: the gauge for the CF289A should read full, and the low-toner notice should be gone. Then release one ordinary job from the queue and check the output is dense and even. If the screen still reports low with a fresh cartridge seated, lift it out and reseat it before assuming anything is faulty.
