Xpress M2875
The Xpress M2875 is the fax-equipped fast mono MFP of the family — 28-ppm output plus a full fax suite for document-heavy offices. Fax reception is a quiet toner consumer (every incoming fax prints), so this machine rewards the high-yield MLT-D116L. The separate MLT-R116 drum (~9,000 pages) means drum wear never wastes toner. Our compatible MLT-D116 cartridges keep fax-intensive printing affordable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get the MLT-D116S or the MLT-D116L for the Xpress M2875?
Both fit the Xpress M2875 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 mono all-in-one 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.
Prints from my Xpress M2875 are faded. Toner or drum?
Check the easy causes first on the Xpress M2875: toner-save mode left on, or a low MLT-D116S/MLT-D116L that needs a gentle side-to-side shake to redistribute powder. If fading persists at normal density with fresh toner, the MLT-R116 imaging unit is the next suspect — a worn drum prints pale no matter how full the toner is. Fading plus repeating marks down the page points squarely at the drum.
My Xpress M2875 rejects a new MLT-D116 cartridge. How do I fix it?
Power the Xpress M2875 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.
