Frequently Asked Questions

The shelf label in our supply room just says "90A" — is that this cartridge?

It is. 90A is the short name, CE390A is the full part number, and both refer to the single black cartridge the LaserJet 600 series runs on. This unit is marked with both, so whichever of the two your shelf label, printer display or old box shows, you are looking at the right item.

One cartridge for the whole LaserJet 600 series — really?

Yes. The M601, M602 and M603 printers and the M4555 multifunction machines all draw from the same CE390A supply, which is why a mixed fleet needs only one toner bin on the shelf. A spare bought for one machine, such as the Enterprise M4555f, can rescue any other 600-series printer that runs dry first.

What does a 10,000-page rating mean on a department printer?

It is the cartridge's rated output at standard page coverage — the working budget for planning rather than a promise per office. On a LaserJet 600 handling a few hundred pages a day, one cartridge typically covers several weeks; heavier statement or report runs will work through it faster.

When the printer stops mid-run, how long is it down for a swap?

About two minutes. Lift the top cover, pull the spent CE390A out by its handle, peel the sealing strip from the fresh cartridge and slide it home. The 600 series holds no tools-only panels, so whoever is standing nearest the machine can do it and the queued jobs resume where they stopped.

Can a fading cartridge be coaxed through one more deadline?

Briefly. Take it out and rock it gently side to side five or six times; that redistributes the toner still inside and usually restores even printing for a short batch. Treat it as a bridge to the replacement arriving, not a fix — once pages grey out again the cartridge is genuinely spent.

What protection comes with this cartridge?

Every cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns: a unit that arrives damaged or gives out well short of its rated life is replaced or refunded. Questions are answered by a real support team Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
