LaserJet M401a

This 2012-era color workgroup machine, the LaserJet M401a, was engineered for the day-to-day demands of small workgroups. Reliability, not flash, is what keeps this machine on desks years later. It takes the HP 80A/80X toner family (CF280A, CF280X).

The LaserJet M401a was designed for the CF280A, CF280X cartridge, and we stock both the genuine OEM version and a compatible alternative. Reordering takes a minute; being without toner costs far more.
