Lexmark MX310dn toner and drum

Your MX310dn takes the 601 (standard yield) and 601H (high yield), plus the 500Z drum. At our price that is about 0.7¢ a page.

The Lexmark MX310dn is a mono laser printer in the MX310 series, which shares cartridges across 1 models.

It takes two black cartridges that differ only in capacity: the 601 at about 2,500 pages and the 601H at about 10,000. At our prices that is 2.0¢ a page against 0.7¢, so the high-yield cartridge costs less to run unless you print very little.

The drum is a separate part on this printer. The 500Z is rated for about 60,000 pages, so it outlasts several toner cartridges and only needs replacing when the printer reports drum life, not every time you change toner.

When you compare prices, compare cost per page rather than the sticker price: a cheaper cartridge with half the rated yield costs more to run. Every cartridge here ships free, is covered by our printer damage protection and can be returned within 90 days, opened or not.

Questions about the MX310dn

What toner does the Lexmark MX310dn use?

The 601 and 601H. Lexmark lists these cartridges as compatible with this model, and the yields on this page are Lexmark's published figures.

Does the MX310dn have a separate drum?

Yes. The 500Z drum unit is a separate part rated for about 60,000 pages. Replace it when the printer reports drum life, not when you change toner.

Does using a compatible cartridge void the MX310dn warranty?

No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your warranty because you used a third-party cartridge. If one of ours damages the printer, our printer damage protection covers the repair.
