Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M680z
The Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M680z is a 2013-era color print, scan and copy unit built around one idea: dependable printing for enterprise departments — clean text, even coverage, no fuss. Its black slot runs the high-yield CF320X, sold singly here as the 653X black cartridge, and the three color slots take 653A cyan CF321A, yellow CF322A and magenta CF323A. A single faded color never forces a full set change, because every slot is replaced independently.
Departmental MFPs live a double life: they are printers at 9 a.m. and scanners by 10. Toner only feeds half of that work, which makes the supplies math friendlier than a print-only box — but the copy function prints what it scans, so a busy copying culture still moves cartridges. The shelf below is all compatible cartridges for this platform, from singles to eight-cartridge sets for the supply room.

Same family, same codes — buy by the code and the listing label does not matter.
Which cartridge should you buy?
HP groups this family as the 652A/653A series: the black slot accepts the standard-yield CF320A or the high-yield black this page stocks, while colors come one to a slot. For a department MFP, the high-yield black is the working choice — text dominates, and every avoided swap is a queue that never forms. Colors should be bought as singles and changed as each one empties; the color sets are for a fresh install or a planned full refresh. These compatibles carry a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Chip, toner and everyday use
A compatible cartridge for this platform carries the chip the printer expects, so levels report normally and the MFP does not nag after a swap. Fit one by pulling the old unit straight out, removing every piece of packing from the new one, and pushing it home until it clicks. A gentle rock of the cartridge before fitting spreads the toner evenly after shipping. Page-yield ratings assume roughly 5% coverage; a department that copies dense forms all day will see fewer pages, and that is arithmetic, not a defect. Keep one spare black sealed in the cabinet — it is always the first to go.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner cartridges are compatible with the M680z?
Look for the exact codes: the high-yield black and the three color cartridges listed above — one black and three colors, each in its own slot. Sticking to these codes guarantees a proper fit and correct recognition in the machine.
Can the M680z scan while a toner cartridge is empty?
Yes — scanning to a computer or email never uses toner, so it works with an empty cartridge. Copying prints the scan, so it needs toner; faded copies mean one of the four cartridges needs replacing.
Can I mix standard and high-yield cartridges in this printer?
Yes. The black slot takes either the standard or the high-yield black, and each color slot is replaced only when that color runs out. You never need to change all four cartridges at once.
Is a separate drum unit needed for the M680z?
No separate drum purchase is part of this page's lineup — the cartridges above are the consumables this model asks for. If print quality drops right after a swap, reseat the cartridge before suspecting anything larger.
