Frequently Asked Questions
What does MICR mean on this cartridge?
This is a single CF226A black cartridge — the cartridge HP also labels 26A — filled with MICR toner, priced at $109.02. MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition: the toner carries magnetic particles, so the character line printed along the bottom of a check can be read by the sorting equipment banks use. It fits the LaserJet Pro M402 series, the LaserJet M402d included, and the LaserJet Pro M426 multifunction models.
Why can't that bottom line on a check be printed with ordinary toner?
The routing number, account number and check number along the bottom edge are not read by eye at the bank — machines sense the magnetic signal in each character. Regular toner leaves almost no magnetic signal, so a check printed with it can be rejected or processed by hand at extra cost. MICR toner is formulated so those characters carry the signal the readers expect.
How should I test this cartridge before printing real checks?
Print a small trial batch first — a handful of checks on your usual check stock, not a full run. Check the bottom line under good light for clean, sharp characters, then take samples to your bank and ask them to run the checks through their reader before you rely on the setup for payments that matter.
Will my bank definitely accept checks printed with this cartridge?
No cartridge maker can guarantee a bank's acceptance, and we will not pretend otherwise. Acceptance depends on your bank's equipment, your check stock and your printer's condition as well as the toner. The trial batch and the bank's own test are what turn this cartridge into a setup you can trust.
How many pages will this one cartridge print?
It is rated at up to 3,100 pages at the standard 5% coverage used for yield ratings. A page carrying only a check's MICR line and a payee block uses little toner, while full-page documents use far more, so a cartridge dedicated to check runs tends to last a long while.
What backing comes with the purchase?
The cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. Orders ship from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — see the shipping and returns page for the details — and our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
About This CF226A MICR Cartridge
Plenty of small offices keep one printer reserved for checks, and this cartridge is built for exactly that drawer: one CF226A (26A) MICR black cartridge, rated at up to 3,100 pages, at $109.02. The code to match at reorder time is the code on the empty cartridge — CF226A with MICR toner in the description, since the magnetic fill is the whole point.
Set it up once, prove it with a trial batch and a trip to the bank, and in-house check printing becomes routine: load the check stock, print the run, and let the bank's readers do the rest.
