WorkCentre 4250

In a busy department that still runs on paper, the Xerox WorkCentre 4250 earns its keep as a monochrome laser multifunction — and it is built to be left alone to get on with it. Its cartridge, the 106R01409, is made for long runs between swaps, so toner changes are rare, planned events rather than weekly chores. This page stocks the cartridge in more pack sizes than most: singles, multi-packs of several depths, and listings under the model's own name.

Long stretches between cartridge changes suit a department machine. Every swap is a small interruption multiplied across everyone who shares the unit, so a cartridge family designed for extended runs keeps the machine's rhythm steady. The 4250 also sits in a wide supply family — the same 106R01409 cartridge serves the 4250 configurations and the WorkCentre 4260 line listed below — which simplifies stocking for sites running several of these machines.

Which cartridge should you buy?

The ladder here runs from a single cartridge to a 5 Pack, so match the rung to your volume. A single 106R01409 is the low-commitment start for one lightly used machine. The 2 Pack and 3 Pack suit a department with a steady monthly flow, while the 4 Pack and 5 Pack — including the Premium Quality 5 Pack — fit sites that would rather order rarely and hold stock. The WorkCentre 4250 cartridge listing and its 5 Pack sell the identical cartridge under the WorkCentre 4250 name. Code first: any listing carrying 106R01409 fits this printer; the choice is purely how many you want on the shelf.

Chip, toner and everyday use

Because swaps are infrequent on this machine, make each one count: with the printer on, open the cartridge door, exchange the spent unit for the new one, close the door and let the machine calibrate before the next job. A cartridge that has been in service a long time can print light on one side as its toner settles — a gentle side-to-side rock evens it out. Keep spares sealed until the day they are needed, and remember rated yields are figured at roughly 5% page coverage, so real life varies with what you print.

Frequently Asked Questions

What toner does the WorkCentre 4250 use?

The Xerox 106R01409 black toner cartridge. It is sold on this page as a single and in 2, 3, 4 and 5 Packs, plus a Premium Quality 5 Pack and model-named listings.

Does the WorkCentre 4260 use the same cartridge?

Yes — the WorkCentre 4260 and its configurations appear in the family list below because they run on the same 106R01409 black toner. One stock item can cover both lines.

Is there a separate drum unit to buy for the 4250?

No drum or maintenance item is listed on this page; everything here is the 106R01409 toner cartridge in different quantities. If your machine requests a different part, its manual will name it.

Which pack size should a department choose?

Work backward from how fast you print. Light use: a single or 2 Pack. A shared department floor: the 3 or 4 Pack keeps a spare in reserve. The 5 Packs are for sites that prefer to order once and forget about toner for a long stretch.
