Color LaserJet M252DW
The Color LaserJet M252DW took the M252's compact color printing and cut both cords that matter: Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet, automatic duplex instead of single-sided. Mid-2010s color documents from anywhere in the room, printed both sides by default.
Toner arrives as a CMYK quartet from the 201 family: standard-yield 201A cartridges, or high-yield 201X when color volume climbs — black CF400A/CF400X through yellow CF403A/CF403X.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Color LaserJet M252DW take CF400A cartridges?
Your Color LaserJet M252DW is designed for the standard set (CF400A, CF401A, CF402A, CF403A) or the high-yield set (CF400X, CF401X, CF402X, CF403X); any cartridge carrying one of those codes will fit.
Can a jam damage the Color LaserJet M252DW?
An occasional cleared jam will not harm the Color LaserJet M252DW, but forcing stuck paper can damage rollers or sensors — always power the Color LaserJet M252DW down and pull gently along the paper path.
Should I shake the cartridge when the Color LaserJet M252DW reports low toner?
Yes — removing the CF400A from the Color LaserJet M252DW and rocking it gently side to side (never shaking violently) redistributes settled toner and often buys more good pages before the Color LaserJet M252DW needs a fresh cartridge.
