What toner and drum does the Canon i-SENSYS MF263dn need, plus 5 compatible models
Actualizado 18 julio 2026Share
Looking for toner for your Canon i-SENSYS MF263dn or any other model in this series? The consumable you need is the Canon CRG-051. Our compatible CRG-051 toner yields 1,700 ISO pages with the same quality as the original and costs a fraction of its price. In addition, these machines use a separate CRG-051 drum that yields 23,000 pages and is only changed every several toners.
Is it compatible with your printer?
The CRG-051 is the toner (and the CRG-051 drum, the image unit) fitted by the entire i-SENSYS monochrome laser series from Canon. If you own any of these six models, these are your consumables:
- Canon i-SENSYS LBP161dn
- Canon i-SENSYS LBP162dw
- Canon i-SENSYS MF263dn
- Canon i-SENSYS MF264dw
- Canon i-SENSYS MF267dw
- Canon i-SENSYS MF269dw
The letters only indicate the functions of each machine, they don't change the consumable: LBP is a laser printer that only prints, while MF is a multifunction machine that also copies and scans. In the suffixes, the d means automatic double-sided printing (duplex), the n wired network connection (Ethernet) and the w wireless connection (Wi-Fi). All of them, without exception, work with the same CRG-051.
The consumable you need and what it yields
This series uses a system of two separate pieces: the toner (the powder ink) and the drum (the image unit). It's important not to confuse them, which is why we sell them separately so you only pay for what you use up.
The compatible Canon CRG-051 toner yields 1,700 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (the measurement standard for monochrome toner, at 5% coverage). It's the piece that runs out sooner and the one you'll replace most often.
The compatible Canon CRG-051 drum yields 23,000 pages, that is, it lasts the equivalent of more than thirteen toners. It doesn't need changing every time the ink runs out: only when the printer warns that the image unit is depleted or repetitive print defects appear.
If you want to better understand the difference between the two pieces and when it's time to replace each one, we explain it in our guide toner vs. drum.
How much printing costs you
The advantage of the compatible is simple: the same yield (those 1,700 pages per toner and 23,000 per drum) but for a fraction of what the original Canon consumable costs. And by buying toner and drum separately, you don't overpay when you only need to replace the ink.

Frequently asked questions
Does the compatible CRG-051 work in my Canon i-SENSYS?
Yes. The CRG-051 toner and drum are compatible with the six models in this series: LBP161dn, LBP162dw, MF263dn, MF264dw, MF267dw and MF269dw. They fit and work exactly like the original consumables.
How many pages does each consumable print?
The CRG-051 toner yields 1,700 pages measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (at 5% coverage) and the CRG-051 drum yields 23,000 pages. Since the drum lasts the equivalent of more than thirteen toners, you'll only change it very occasionally.
Does using a compatible toner void the printer's warranty?
No. Using compatible consumables does not void your machine's warranty: you are protected by article 120 of RDL 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers). The manufacturer could only refuse a repair if it proved that the consumable caused a specific damage, something that doesn't happen with a quality compatible. You have all the details on our warranty page.
How long does shipping take?
We ship within 24-48 hours across mainland Spain, and shipping is free from €50 of purchase. This way you have your toner or drum ready before you run out of printing capacity.
