Xpress M2885FW
Topping the wireless range, the Xpress M2885FW pairs the family's fastest mono engine with fax and full wireless connectivity. It's the variant bought by offices that refuse compromises — and the consumable to match that ambition is the high-yield MLT-D116L, not the standard D116S. Our compatible MLT-D116 cartridges and the long-life MLT-R116 drum (~9K pages) keep even this flagship's running costs modest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get the MLT-D116S or the MLT-D116L for the Xpress M2885FW?
Both fit the Xpress M2885FW 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 fax, wireless and 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 M2885FW?
Drums are light-sensitive: when you remove the MLT-R116 from the Xpress M2885FW, 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.
Does copying wear out the drum faster on the Xpress M2885FW?
Copies consume toner at full density like prints, and every copy also puts an impression on the MLT-R116 imaging unit — so a copy-heavy mono all-in-one with fax, wireless and a separate imaging drum goes through drums sooner in calendar time than a print-only one. Reduce copy density a notch for text originals and keep the scanner glass spotless, since reproduced smudges waste both toner and drum life on every copy.
