HP TerraJet Toner Technology

This printer uses the new HP 160-series black toner cartridges.

HP 160A & 160Y Toner Cartridges

Declared toner yields are based on ISO/IEC 19752 and continuous printing. Actual yields vary depending on printed content, coverage, printer settings and environmental conditions.

Important Toner Compatibility Note

The HP LaserJet Enterprise 6500dn uses the new HP 160-series toner platform. It does not use the older HP 37-series CF237Y / CF237YC toner cartridges found in printers such as the LaserJet Enterprise M608dn and M609dn.

Customers upgrading from an older HP Enterprise printer should therefore check existing toner inventory before changing printer platforms.
