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 M501dn uses the HP 87A (CF287A, 9,000 pages) black or high-yield HP 87X (CF287X, 18,000 pages) — genuine HP only, from $159.

The HP LaserJet Pro M501dn is a fast monochrome laser printer built for workgroups that want Enterprise-class speed and paper handling at a Pro-series price. It prints up to 45 pages per minute on letter paper (43 on A4), gets the first page out in as little as 5.7 seconds, prints two-sided automatically and delivers 600 x 600 dpi output with up to 4800 x 600 enhanced dpi for crisp text.

Standard paper capacity is 650 sheets from the 550-sheet main tray and 100-sheet multipurpose tray, expandable to 1,200 with an optional 550-sheet tray, and the face-down output bin holds 250 sheets. A 1.5 GHz processor with 256 MB of memory, Gigabit Ethernet and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 keep jobs moving, and PIN-protected job storage works with a USB flash drive. HP rates it for up to 100,000 pages a month. The M501dn uses HP 87A JetIntelligence toner cartridges, with the high-yield HP 87X for up to 18,000 pages.
