Xpress M2825ND
The Xpress M2825ND is the wired-network, duplexing configuration of the fast M2825 platform — the IT department's preferred spec. Standardizing on one toner family across the fleet simplifies procurement, and the MLT-D116 family obliges with just two toner SKUs (D116S, D116L) plus the long-life MLT-R116 drum. Our compatible cartridges make that standardization cheap as well as simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get the MLT-D116S or the MLT-D116L for the Xpress M2825ND?
Both fit the Xpress M2825ND the same way; the MLT-D116L high-yield cartridge holds more toner and delivers a lower cost per page, while the MLT-D116S standard cartridge is cheaper upfront. A networked duplex mono printer with a separate imaging drum with regular volume benefits from the L — fewer interruptions and cheaper pages. Occasional printers should stick with the S, since toner slowly degrades and there is no advantage in buying capacity that sits unused for a year.
How should I handle the MLT-R116 imaging unit in the Xpress M2825ND?
Drums are light-sensitive: when you remove the MLT-R116 from the Xpress M2825ND, work quickly and never leave it sitting in bright light, which permanently degrades print quality. Do not touch the drum surface — skin oils cause repeating spots on every page afterward. If prints show the same defect at regular intervals down the page, the drum is likely scratched and the unit needs replacing rather than the toner.
My Xpress M2825ND rejects a new MLT-D116 cartridge. How do I fix it?
Power the Xpress M2825ND off, remove the cartridge, and clean the chip contacts with a dry lint-free cloth before reseating it firmly until it clicks. Temperature extremes in transit cause misreads, so let the cartridge reach room temperature first. Repeated rejection of a compatible cartridge usually means the firmware does not accept its chip — a genuine MLT-D116 is the reliable fallback.
