HP LaserJet Pro M401dw toner cartridges

Q: Can I use a compatible or refilled cartridge?

You can, but yield, quality and level reporting vary. We sell only original HP cartridges.

The HP LaserJet Pro M401dw uses the HP 80A (CF280A, 2,700 pages) black or high-yield HP 80X (CF280X, 6,900 pages) — genuine HP only, from $91.

The HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dw is a wireless monochrome laser printer built for small workgroups that want speed, automatic duplexing and easy mobile printing. It prints up to 35 pages per minute on letter paper (33 on A4), gets the first page out in about 8 seconds and delivers 1200 x 1200 dpi output for sharp text. A 3.5-inch color touchscreen runs HP business apps and walk-up printing from a USB drive.

Standard paper capacity is 300 sheets from the 250-sheet tray and 50-sheet multipurpose tray, expandable with an optional 500-sheet tray, and an 800 MHz processor with 256 MB of memory keeps jobs moving. Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 are built in, with HP ePrint and AirPrint for phones and tablets, and HP rates it for up to 50,000 pages a month. The M401dw uses HP 80A toner cartridges, with the high-yield HP 80X for up to 6,900 pages.
