WorkCentre 4260
The WorkCentre 4260 is a monochrome laser multifunction printer designed for departmental use, and it expects to be worked: printing, copying, scanning and faxing, day after day. Its toner is the 106R01409 cartridge, and the compatible singles and packs below are the supply options for keeping that workload moving without drama.
A departmental machine sits at the center of other people's deadlines, so its cartridge is sized for steady daily volume rather than occasional use. When this machine stops, the whole queue stops with it — which is why the supply routine matters as much as the cartridge itself. Buildings that also run the WorkCentre 4250 or the WorkCentre 4260 mfp can stock the identical cartridge for all of them.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Steady volume argues for buying ahead. The single 106R01409 is best kept as the emergency spare — the cartridge that goes in the day the warning appears — while the working supply comes from the 3 Pack or, for a machine that prints all day, the 5 Pack and Premium Quality 5 Pack. Each listing shows its rated yield on its product page; use it to translate pack sizes into months of cover for your department. The pattern that works in most offices: when the spare goes into the machine, its replacement goes on order the same day.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The 4260 confirms a new cartridge through its chip, and the confirmation only happens when the cartridge is fully home — slide it in until you hear and feel the click. A test page straight after a swap is cheap insurance: it proves the cartridge is printing cleanly before the department's real work lands on it. Between changes, keep the spare sealed, flat and out of direct sunlight. If pages start to fade near the end of a cartridge's run, remove it, rock it gently to redistribute the toner, and refit it; that habit regularly squeezes a useful number of extra pages from a cartridge that looked finished.
