Which toner fits the HP LaserJet Pro M521dw?

Monochrome laser · machine reference A8P80A

One consumable, in two capacities: the 55A black toner (CE255A), about 6,000 pages, or the 55X (CE255X), about 12,500 pages. It is a monochrome departmental multifunction — printing, copying, scanning and fax — rated at 40 pages per minute, with a 50-sheet feeder and a 500-sheet main tray.

It goes down to 52 gsm: thin paper feeds

That is this machine's distinctive feature, and it reads on no sales sheet: both its trays take paper from 52 gsm, where almost every laser stops at 60. For anyone printing multipart sets, leaflets or documents to be posted by weight, the difference is not trivial.

That detail also has a reverse reading, more useful still: thin paper is the kind that folds and jams most. When a machine keeps jamming or lays down badly fused toner, the weight of the paper loaded is the first thing to check — long before suspecting the cartridge.

55A or 55X: a little more than double

HP recommends a volume of 2,000 to 6,000 pages a month for this machine. At the ceiling, a 55A lasts barely a month and a 55X a little over two; at the floor, three months and six respectively. So the 55X changes nothing about the cost if both suit your pace: it changes the number of times somebody has to open the cover.

The same toner as the P3015 and the M525

This family also covers the LaserJet P3015 and the Enterprise M525 multifunction models. An M521dw standing beside one of those models therefore shares its stock with it, which simplifies both ordering and borrowing from one machine for the other.

Frequently asked questions

Does thin paper change the toner's yield?
No: a yield is measured in pages, at a given ink coverage, and not by the weight of the paper. A 52 gsm sheet uses as much powder as an 80 gsm one carrying the same text. It does travel through the machine less well, though, and that is where the trouble starts — jams, double feeds, uneven fusing.
Does the 55X go into an M521dw with no adjustment?
Yes. The 55A and the 55X have the same format and the same slot; only the amount of powder differs. The printer recognises the cartridge fitted and recalculates its level on its own. The two can be alternated from one order to the next, exactly as on a LaserJet Pro M501dn with its 87A and 87X.
Does scanning or sending a fax use toner?
Scanning, no: the scanner reads the page, it prints nothing. Sending a fax, no either. A received fax, on the other hand, comes out on paper by default, without anyone asking — on a station that receives many, that is a consumption invisible day to day but very real on the counter.
