Product Identity

It fits HP Color LaserJet Pro models including the M254dw 254dn 254nw 280nw 281cdw 281fdn 281fdw and delivers standard yield output from a single pack. The cartridge is manufactured to meet or exceed OEM requirements and carries a two year shelf life.

Buyer Fit

Home offices and small businesses that print moderate volumes on the listed LaserJet Pro models will find this a direct replacement. Buyers who need high capacity toner for heavy daily workloads or who require colour cartridges for full colour output should look at other options. It is not suited for printers outside the stated compatibility list.

Deciding Specification

The cartridge is rated for standard yield black printing only and replaces the CF500A model. Operating conditions are 10°C to 30°C with 20% to 80% humidity. Storage tolerance spans -20°C to 40°C at the same humidity range. This yield rating is the single figure that determines whether the cartridge matches your print volume.

Questions about this item

Will this 202A CF500A cartridge work alongside the colour cartridges already in my HP Color LaserJet Pro M254dw?

Yes, it is designed for the M254dw and replaces the black 202A CF500A while the cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges remain in place.

How can I verify the cartridge is printing correctly after I install it?

Print a test page or any document; sharp black text and even coverage confirm the cartridge is operating within the 10°C to 30°C range.

Does the single pack include any extra parts or do I need to buy a drum unit separately?

The box contains one new black toner cartridge only; no drum unit or other components are included or required for the listed HP printers.
