Frequently Asked Questions

Which black cartridge does the M180n use?

The Color LaserJet Pro MFP M180n takes the CF510A black cartridge — the HP 204A black — rated at up to 1,100 pages. This is a single black cartridge at $31.74, sold for this multifunction model by name.

Do copies use the same black cartridge as prints?

Yes. On the M180n, a black-and-white copy is printed with the same CF510A cartridge as a document sent from a computer. A morning of copying contracts spends black toner exactly the way printing them would, which surprises owners who track only their print volume.

Does scanning use up toner?

No. Scanning turns a page into a digital file — no toner is laid down at all. You can scan a full archive box of documents and the black gauge will not move. Only pages that come out of the machine — prints and copies — draw on the cartridge.

Why is my black level dropping when I barely print?

Copies are the usual answer: they rarely get counted in anyone's head. Check the machine's usage page, which separates print and copy counts, and the missing pages are almost always sitting in the copy column.

How do I know when to reorder?

Print or view the supplies status page: the black gauge sits beside the CF510A code. When it reads low and copies start coming out gray at the edges, order the replacement — at $31.74 it is an easy spare to keep ahead of time.

What backing comes with this cartridge?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns cover every cartridge we sell. Stock ships from warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California, with the delivery details on our shipping and returns page. Support answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This Black Cartridge for the M180n

The M180n earns its desk space by doing three jobs, but only two of them — printing and copying — drink from the black cartridge. This page is that cartridge: one CF510A (204A black), rated at up to 1,100 pages, priced at $31.74.

Because copies quietly share the cartridge with prints, the black level on an MFP falls faster than a print-only estimate suggests. A sealed spare in the drawer keeps the machine's second job from stalling the first one.
