Compatible HP CF410A toner: installation, chip reset and savings

Here's what you need to know before and after installing it, no beating about the bush. Where a product page states a page yield, check its declared test protocol: ISO/IEC 19798.

What it is and which printers it fits

The CF410A corresponds to the HP 410A reference in black. It's a consumable designed for office use with moderate volumes. This compatible cartridge is valid for the following models:

• HP Color LaserJet Pro M452dn
• HP Color LaserJet Pro M452dw
• HP Color LaserJet Pro M452nw
• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M377dw
• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdn
• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fdw
• HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M477fnw

If your machine doesn't appear in this list, don't force the purchase: the black reference doesn't match across different ranges and the chip might not communicate with your printer.

How to install it and what to do if it "doesn't recognise the cartridge"

Installation is identical to that of an original cartridge: open the front door, remove the old toner by pulling the tab, take off the transport seal and the protective cap from the new cartridge, shake it gently from side to side to distribute the powder and slot it in until you hear the click.

The compatible CF410A incorporates a chip, so under normal conditions the printer detects it instantly. If a "cartridge not recognised", "not compatible" or "used" warning appears, try the following:

• Turn off the printer, wait a minute and turn it back on: most warnings clear with this restart, which acts as a chip reset.
• Remove and reinsert the cartridge, making sure the gold chip contact is clean and properly seated.
• Check whether you have a pending firmware update. Some HP updates block non-branded cartridges; we explain this in how HP firmware blocks cartridges.

Your Startoner consumable is covered by a three-year legal conformity guarantee. Printer coverage is governed by the manufacturer’s terms and may exclude damage caused by consumables. Using a compatible cartridge does not by itself establish the cause of a fault; keep your documentation and contact us if a problem occurs.

Yield and savings versus the original

The goal of a compatible is to deliver the same number of usable pages at a considerably lower cost.

If you want to check the quality yourself, print our downloadable CMYK test page before and after the change. And if you're interested in the real cost calculation, we break it down in the real cost of printing and in our comparison original vs compatible, printed side by side.
