MICR Toner and Check Printing
HP CF325X MICR Toner for HP M806dn, M806x, M830z in R & D
HP has finally released a replacement for the HP LaserJet 9000, 9050 series printers, the HP M800 Series. The M800 series uses an HP CF325X toner cartridge. The CF325X is very similar to the C8543X (toner cartridge used in HP 9000, 9050) with a few tabs and notches that insures the new cartridge won’t fit in the older series of printer and vice versa. The CF325X is rated for 34,500 prints vs. 30,000 for the C8543X. Our goal is to have a CF325X MICR

HP LaserJet M806x
toner cartridge for M800 series by mid November. MICR toner for the HP 9000/9050 printer has been popular for high volume environments. In fact when you order our pre-printed checks for QuickBooks, Quicken, Peachtree or any number of othe accounting packages, we print these on an HP 9050 with a C8543X MICR Toner Cartridge. When HP first released the LaserJet 9000 it had it’s share of problems. But since the LaserJet 9050 came out, HP has addressed most of the reliability problems that plagued the HP 9000. We anticipate this to be a great production workhorse for high volume environments in check printing.

HP LasetJet Flow M830z
The new M800 series is basically the 9000 series with a facelift. HP has added a touch screen, changed paper handling options, changed the color and cranked up the speed from 50ppm to 55ppm. There is no reason to upgrade your older 9000 to a M800 Series unless your 9000 series printer is on it’s last legs. HP has added NFC communication options as well so that you print wirelessly from your smart phone. Probably not a big selling point for such a high volume printer.
M800 Series New Models
- M806dn – Base model with duplexing (2 sided printing) and networking standard. List price $3,399.
- M806x – Take the base model and add a 3,500 sheet input tray and you have the M806x. One major difference between the 9000 series and the M800 series is the new input tray holds 3,500 sheets vs. 2,000. They’ve increased the capacity by creating two drawers that hold letter sized paper vs. one drawer that holds tabloid or 11×17 paper. List price $5,399.
- Flow M830z – The M830z model isn’t just th M806x plus a 3000 sheet stacker/stapler. It also includes complete multifunction capabilities – print, copy, scan, fax. Plus they’ve added a larger touch screen. List price $8,499.
New Lexmark Printers Released – 501h & 521h MICR Toner in R&D

The Lexmark MS812DE with 7″ touch screen and 70ppm is the perfect way to get your payroll check printed fast and in style!
Lexmark just released quite a few new Monochrome (Black & White) printers. We’ve already started developing MICR toner for several of the new printers. The new printers are very fast ranging from 35ppm to 70ppm. We really haven’t seen many mainstream laser printers reach the 70ppm mark.
We plan to sell the Lexmark 501H MICR Toner Cartridge for the Lexmark MS310, MS410, MS510 and MS610 (5,000 page) as well as the Lexmark 521H MICR Toner Cartridge for the Lexmark MS810, MS811 and MS812 (20,000 page). When these are available you’ll be able to buy them from our Lexmark MICR Toner Cartridge section. The MS810 series appears to be a direct replacement for the Lexmark T650 series.
Here is a summary list of the new printers. The MX line of printers are MFP’s, while the MS lines are standard monochrome printers (no copy, fax, scan). At this print in time we have no plans to develop MICR toner for the Lexmark MX line of printers as our customers typically don’t print checks on MFP’s.
MX 810 / 811 / 812 – 55/63/70 ppm MS 810 / 811 / 812 – 55/63/70 ppm (MICR Toner in R&D) MX 710 / 711 - 63/70ppm MX 610 / 611 – 50/50ppm MX 510 / 511 - 45ppm MS 510 / 610 – 45/50ppm (MICR Toner in R&D) MS 310 / 410 – 35/40ppm (MICR Toner in R&D) MX 310 / 410 – 35/40ppm

We plan to have the New Lexmark 521h MICR Toner Cartridge in July 2013. This will be a new cartridge, not remanufactured.
One major change to Lexmark’s new printer lineup is the use of both an toner and an imaging unit instead of an all in one cartridge. Previously Lexmark used a two cartridge system in their lower end printer such as the E260, E360, E460. Now their entire lineup uses a two cartridge system. The addition of an imaging unit is both good and bad. On the plus side you aren’t replacing your photoconductor drum and waste toner reservoir each time you run out of toner. On the minus side, troubleshooting gets much more complicated. If you have a print quality problem, you’ll have two cartridges to swap out to determine the culprit. For most people, the simplicity of a one cartridge system is the best way to go.
Not all printers are created equal…
The MX 310, 410, 510 and 610 series all share the same 501 series of toner cartridges. That said, Lexmark has taken the dark path by not allowing the lower end models use the high yield toner cartridges. What this means is if you buy the MX310, you will only be able to use the 1,500 and 5,000 page toner cartridges. Both the 10,000 and 20,000 pages cartridges will not fit. If you buy the MX410, you will not be able to use the 501X 20,000 page toner cartridge. Both the MS510 and MS610 will allow you to use all cartridges in the 501 series. As you progress through the series, the printers get faster. If you are a volume printer, it always pays off to buy the printer that can use the high yield toner cartridges. All four series use the same 500Z imaging unit rated at 60,000 pages.
As with the lower line, the MX810 will not accommodate the 521X extra high yield toner cartridge, but the MS811 and MS812 will. All three models use the same Lexmark 520Z imaging unit rated at 100,000 pages.
Here is a list of the new Lexmark MS series printers. For a list of the new Lexmark MX MFP printers, visit Lexmark’s website.
| MS310 Series | MS510 Series | MS810 Series |
| MS310D – 35ppm | MS510DN – 45ppm | MS810N – 55ppm |
| MS310DN – 35ppm | MS810DN – 55ppm | |

You may be asking yourself, can I swap out MICR toner cartridges with standard toner cartridges when I do a check run. Yes you can. The MICR toner cartridges also includes a developer roller so the cartridges can be swapped. As a rule we don’t suggest doing this as we’ve had many a customer damage their cartridges by swapping them back and forth. The problem usually originates from the user doing a bad job packing away the cartridge that is not in use. The best way to insure the cartridge isn’t damaged is to place the cartridge back in the foil bag and then back in the original packaging, thus protecting it from light damage, dust and other environmental exposures. Note: toner cartridges from a two cartridge system are not susceptible to light damage as the photo-conductor drum is contained in the imaging unit.
New Product: HP CF214A MICR Toner for LaserJet M712n, M712dn, M712hx
Advantage Laser Products is proud to release the Premium CF214A MICR toner cartridge for the HP LaserJet 700 Series including M712, M712n, M712dn, m712hx for laser check printing. Our CF214A MICR Toner cartridge is a genuine new HP cartridge that’s been retrofitted with MICR or magnetic toner. Page yield is 12,000 pages at 5% coverage. Cost $350 each, with free ground shipping. This is a stock item. For the moment have no plans to produce the CF214X MICR Toner Cartridge. We are the first company to produce a MICR cartridge for the the LaserJet 700 series. We anticipate lite demand for this product as wide format printers are rarely used for check printing.
The M700 series of LaserJet printers are designed as an enterprise class printer at 40 ppm with a monthly duty cycle of 100,000 pages. Recommend monthly print volume is 5,000 – 20,000 pages.

In addition to being a network printer, you can print wirelessly via HP ePrint and Apple AirPrint. Apple AirPrint allows you to print directly from your iPhone or iPad wirelessly.

Labs: HP LaserJet M712n MICR Toner Cartridge in Development
HP has just released the HP LaserJet Enterprise 700 series which includes the M712n, M712dn and the M712xh. The new series is rated at 40 ppm and can handle 11×17 paper. The printer has a standard (CF214A) and high yield (CF214X) toner cartridges that yield 10,000 and 17,500 pages respectively. The base model M712n is a network printer, the M712dn adds in duplex capablity, the M712xh duplexes, plus includes a hard drive and a 4,600 page input capacity.
It’s really hard to know whom HP is targeting with this printer. The printer is expensive, the base model M712n costs $1,899. You can buy an M600 series printer that is faster for half the price. Unless you have to print 11×17 sheets, this printer just doesn’t make sense. So we don’t anticipate this to be a big seller.
Our goal is to produce a CF214A MICR toner cartridge and a CF214X MICR toner cartridge by March 1st, 2013. Stay tuned for developments.

New Product: HP M401dn MICR Laser Printer – On Sale!
We’ve just purchased a large batch of HP LaserJet M401dn duplexing network laser printers at a great price. We’ve converted the toner cartridges that came with these printers to MICR toner cartridges. The good news is we’re able to offer the HP M401dn MICR Laser Printer at the same price as the M401n. The dn not only offers networking and duplexing, but also includes a color touch screen for easy operation. While supplies last these are on sale for $389 each plus shipping. The our M401dn MICR Laser Printer includes a New CF280A MICR Toner Cartridge. To reduce your printing costs, we recommend the Advantage Brand CF280x MICR Toner Cartridge (Remanufactured).
As far as check printing goes, the duplex option really isn’t that useful. But I know for my own personal use, the duplex option is a great way to save paper and space if you have to file the paper. I duplex 90% of my print jobs. The color touch screen is much easier to use than the older 2 line display.
Some Specs: The M401dn prints at 35 pages per minute with a first page out in 8 seconds. The recommended print volume is 750 to 5,000 pages per month. And while this isn’t a wireless printer, this printer does support Apple Airprint, so you can print directly from your Apple iphone, ipad or ipod wirelessly. In addition this is a network printer, so you can plug it into your router/switch as well as USB.
