WorkCentre PRO
WorkCentre PRO is the professional multifunction branch of the WorkCentre family — workgroup machines built to sit at the hub of a larger office's document flow while taking up less room than their output suggests. Its representative cartridge shelf, shown in the table below, pairs a four-color family — 006R01175 in black, 006R01176 in cyan, 006R01177 in magenta and 006R01178 in yellow — with the stand-alone black 006R01184. Twenty-five listings carry the WorkCentre PRO name in our catalog, and the directory at the foot of this page breaks them down model by model.
Variety is the defining trait of this line. Its models spread across three naming groups at once — the numbered Pro models, the C-prefixed group and the M-prefixed group, with the Pro PE16 standing alongside them — because the same workgroup role is filled at several sizes and in several configurations. That breadth is useful when you are standardizing an office on one family, but it has a consequence for supplies: there is no single product that answers to the description "WorkCentre PRO toner." The series shares a cartridge logic across its models, yet the exact code still belongs to the individual machine, which is why every model in the directory has a page of its own.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Let the exact model name lead. If your machine is a WorkCentre Pro M128, begin on its own page, where everything stocked for that model is listed, and let the code printed on the cartridge you remove settle the choice. A WorkCentre Pro C2636 owner is shopping a different shelf from the same series, and a WorkCentre Pro 133 owner a different one again. Once the model page confirms your code, choose between the single cartridge for a straight replacement and any multi-pack on that page when your office goes through toner quickly — the code stays the same either way, only the quantity in the box changes.
Chip, toner and everyday use
A shared workgroup machine gives no warning that suits everybody's schedule, so the practical habit on this series is a small spare shelf near the device itself: one black, and one of each color for the color models, ready before the low-toner message appears. New cartridges are recognized through their chips as soon as they are seated properly, so push the unit home until it locks rather than forcing a door closed on a half-seated cartridge. Yield figures on product pages assume 5% coverage, and shared machines printing reports and presentations all day will land below the headline number. Every compatible cartridge listed here is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year returns.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PRO name change about toner shopping?
Very little, beyond pointing you to the right branch of the WorkCentre family. The Pro models are the professional multifunction machines, but cartridge choice still follows the exact model name and the code on the installed cartridge — the Pro badge by itself does not identify a cartridge.
Is the WorkCentre Pro PE16 covered by the cartridges on this page?
The WorkCentre Pro PE16 is part of this line and has its own page in the directory below. Treat that page as the authority for its cartridges and match the code on your current cartridge there before ordering, rather than assuming the representative listings on this series page apply to it.
My Pro model only prints in black and white. Do I need the color cartridges?
No. A model that works in black only draws on a black cartridge, and its own page lists the shelf that applies to it. The color family in the table serves the color models of the line; buying colors for a mono machine buys parts it cannot use.
Can I change one color at a time on a WorkCentre PRO color model?
Yes. Each color is a separate cartridge with its own supply, so replace the one the machine reports as empty and leave the others in place until their own turn comes.
