What toner does the HP LaserJet Pro M402d need, plus 6 compatible models
UpdatedThe HP LaserJet Pro M402d uses HP 26A (CF226A) or the higher-capacity 26X (CF226X) original black toner reference, according to HP’s M402 supplies documentation. Startoner lists alternatives with separate seller-declared yields of 3,100 and 9,000 pages. Check the printer model and product page before ordering; an original reference alone does not guarantee a third-party cartridge will fit.

Frequently asked questions
How do CF226A and CF226X differ?
HP identifies 26A or CF226A as the standard original black cartridge and 26X or CF226X as the higher-capacity version for specified M402 models. Startoner currently declares 3,100 and 9,000 pages for its respective alternatives. Those are seller figures, not a promise of identical output in every office; documents and settings affect actual yield.
Do these references also apply to a LaserJet Pro MFP M426?
HP also lists 26A and 26X for specified M426 multifunction models. Compare the full model name and region with the official supplies information rather than assuming that every similar suffix is covered. If considering a Startoner cartridge, check its current printer list separately; HP’s original cartridge listing does not certify a third-party product.
Can I use CF226A in an M403 or M427?
Do not infer that from M402 or M426 compatibility. HP distinguishes the 26A and 26X supplies from the 28A and 28X references used for M403 and M427 families in its documentation. Look up the complete model on the printer label and in the official supplies guide, then check the seller’s exact product listing.
