Xpress M2870FD
Fax plus duplex on the M2870 engine: the Xpress M2870FD automatically prints incoming faxes double-sided, the kind of quiet efficiency offices love. That autonomy makes the 3,000-page MLT-D115L the cartridge of choice — fewer interventions, lower cost per page. Our compatible D115 cartridges (S and L) keep this document station economical.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy the MLT-D115S or the MLT-D115L for the Xpress M2870FD?
Both fit the Xpress M2870FD identically; the MLT-D115L high-yield cartridge simply holds more toner and costs less per page, while the MLT-D115S standard cartridge costs less upfront. For a mono all-in-one with fax and automatic duplexing with steady volume, the L cartridge means fewer swaps and lower running costs. Light or occasional users do fine with the S — toner does not improve with age, so there is no benefit to buying capacity you will not use within a year or so.
Prints from my Xpress M2870FD look faded. Is it the toner or something else?
Rule out settings first: toner-save or draft mode left on makes the Xpress M2870FD print pale indefinitely. With normal density, remove the cartridge — MLT-D115S or MLT-D115L — rock it gently side to side to redistribute toner, and reseat it. Even fading across the whole page after that means the cartridge is spent; repeating defects in the same spot suggest a worn drum surface inside the cartridge instead.
Is faxing eating my toner on the Xpress M2870FD?
It can. Every received fax prints, so the Xpress M2870FD consumes MLT-D115 toner on each one, and junk faxes are pure waste — enable junk-fax blocking to cut them off. Turn off automatic transmission and activity reports, or set them to print only on error. Offices that fax rarely should also check for receive-to-memory or fax-forwarding options that skip printing entirely.
