Frequently Asked Questions

We run letterhead in one tray and plain paper in the other — which cartridge does the 2420TN take?

The same one every LaserJet 2420 takes: the Q6511A, also labeled 11A. Trays divide paper, not toner. One cartridge prints both the letterhead run and the plain-paper run, which is why the label check — Q6511A on the outgoing unit — settles the order in seconds.

What is delivered?

One sealed black cartridge at $45.76. Nothing to assemble, nothing on back-order; the carton contains the single consumable your printer consumes.

Does switching between trays wear the cartridge unevenly?

No. The cartridge lays toner on whatever sheet the printer feeds it, and its 6,000-page rating counts printed pages regardless of which tray supplied them. Letterhead with a heavy pre-printed logo area may even use slightly less toner, since that part of the page arrives already printed.

How is the change done?

Open the top, lift the old Q6511A out by its handle, and set the new one in after a gentle rock and a firm pull on the sealing strip. Leave the trays exactly as they are — the swap lives entirely in the top bay.

The letterhead pages look fine but plain copies look washed out. Toner?

Probably not — if one paper type prints well, the cartridge is laying toner properly, and the difference sits with the other stock or its tray settings. When both stocks fade together, then it is the 11A reaching its end.

What if this cartridge turns out to be a dud?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. Send word and the replacement or refund follows; questions are answered Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This 11A Cartridge for the LaserJet 2420TN

The 2420TN earns its place in offices that juggle two kinds of paper — headed stock for the outside world, plain for everything internal. Feeding that two-tray routine is one Q6511A black cartridge: 6,000 pages of capacity at $45.76, ordered singly so the supply shelf holds paper, not toner hoards.

Dispatch is from IL, PA, GA and CA, whichever is closest with stock; see the shipping & returns page for timing and return routes, and browse the wider family range under HP. (The platform anchor for this listing is the base LaserJet 2420 page, since the TN's cartridge is the platform cartridge.)

Fitment runs across the line — the LaserJet 2430, LaserJet 2430dtn, LaserJet 2430n, LaserJet 2420, LaserJet 2420d, LaserJet 2420dn and LaserJet 2420n all take the Q6511A. Also in the range: the plain Q6511A cartridge listing, a Q6511A 2-pack for a shelf spare and the high-yield Q6511X for longer runs between swaps.
