LaserJet Enterprise M528f

Fax still matters in some offices, and the LaserJet Enterprise M528f keeps it in the mix: a monochrome multifunction with fax alongside print, scan and copy. Its toner comes from the HP 89A family — the standard CF289A, or the high-yield CF289X, also sold as the 89X, for heavier fax-and-print traffic. The listings here are compatible versions of those two cartridges.

A fax-equipped MFP has a supply problem no ordinary printer has: inbound documents print the moment they arrive, on somebody else's schedule. An office that relies on fax for orders, referrals or signed forms cannot let the cartridge decide when the line goes quiet, so the M528f rewards a stocked spare and a high-yield default more than most machines do.

Which cartridge should you buy?

Choose the CF289X if fax-and-print traffic is heavy: as the high-yield version of the standard cartridge it simply runs longer between swaps, which is the property a fax line cares about. HP's documentation for this model also names a CF289Y high-yield cartridge; it is not stocked on this page, so the CF289X is the high-yield pick here. The standard CF289A suits lighter offices and costs less per cartridge. Whichever tier you choose, hold one sealed spare: on a fax machine, a spare is what keeps incoming pages coming.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Fit the new cartridge until it clicks and let the panel read its chip before sending a test job; a test page confirms the seating without tying up the fax line. If output from incoming faxes turns pale, the cartridge is near its end — a gentle side-to-side rock redistributes the remaining toner until the replacement goes in. Store that replacement sealed and flat near the machine, and treat yield ratings as standard-coverage estimates, since fax pages and dense forms rarely match the test pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which toner cartridges does the LaserJet Enterprise M528f use?

The standard CF289A and the high-yield CF289X, both stocked on this page in compatible singles, 2-packs and 4-packs. Match the code on the cartridge you remove before ordering.

Do faxes on the M528f print from the same cartridge as regular print jobs?

Yes. An incoming fax is printed by the same engine and the same cartridge as any other job, which is why keeping a spare matters more on this model than on a print-only machine.

Is the CF289Y an option for the LaserJet Enterprise M528f?

HP documentation names the CF289Y as a high-yield member of this model's cartridge family, but it is not stocked on this page. The high-yield cartridge sold here is the CF289X.

Which cartridge suits a fax-heavy M528f, the CF289A or the CF289X?

The CF289X. It is the high-yield version of the same cartridge, so the machine runs longer between swaps and is less likely to run dry when an important fax arrives overnight.
