Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this cartridge different from an ordinary black cartridge?
The toner itself. This CE255A MICR cartridge, at $92.00, is filled with magnetic toner — the kind bank scanning equipment reads in the coded line along the bottom of a check. Ordinary toner prints that line visibly but cannot be read magnetically.
What is it used for?
Printing checks in-house: payroll checks, accounts-payable checks and refund checks produced on blank check stock, with the bank details, amounts and the magnetic coded line all printed in one pass.
Will my bank accept checks printed with this cartridge?
We cannot promise that, and no cartridge seller honestly can. Acceptance depends on your bank's requirements, the check stock, the printer's alignment and the printed signal strength all together. What we can say is that MICR toner is the correct material for the job — the rest of the chain is yours to verify.
How should I test before printing a real check run?
Print a small sample batch first and take those checks to your bank, or run them through your own check reader if you have one, before committing to a full run. A five-minute test protects an entire payroll.
Can I print ordinary documents with it as well?
It will print them — the output looks like normal black printing. Most check printers keep the MICR cartridge for check stock only, though, because it is priced for that specialised work rather than for everyday letters.
What page rating does the MICR cartridge carry?
The same basis as the standard cartridge: 6,000 pages per cartridge. Check pages carry very little toner compared with a dense document, so the practical count on check stock depends on your layout and how much of each page is printed.
About This CE255A MICR Cartridge
Small firms that print their own checks usually dedicate one printer to the job, and a LaserJet P3015d on the bookkeeper's desk is a typical choice: close to the check stock, away from general office traffic. This CE255A MICR cartridge gives that printer the magnetic toner the coded check line requires, rated at 6,000 pages, while the machine's ordinary printing continues to be served by standard cartridges.
The cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns and ships from the nearest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses — delivery details are on the shipping & returns page. Our team is available Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST, and the standard cartridges for the same machine sit alongside this one in the HP catalogue.
