Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yields for Lexmark monochrome toner cartridges are measured in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752 standards at 5% page coverage. High-density document printing, such as full-page invoices or detailed reports, will deplete toner faster than standard business letters.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 56F6000 | Standard | Black | 6,000 | $0.056 |
| 56F6U0E | Extra High Yield | Black | 25,000 | $0.027 |
| 56F6X0E | Extra High Yield | Black | 20,000 | $0.033 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible Lexmark options
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible 56F6 series cartridges offer substantial savings for high-frequency printing while matching OEM performance. Read our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridges guide to make an informed choice.
Selecting the right toner capacity and shipping details
For light text printing, standard 56F6000 cartridges keep upfront costs lower. If your office manages high daily print volumes, switching to 56F6X0E or 56F6U0E high-yield options reduces cost per page and limits physical replacements. All compatible products carry a full money-back guarantee if you experience any operational issues. Review our complete returns policy for details. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99. We dispatch daily from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Explore our full range of Lexmark toner cartridges.
Professional toner management tip

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install an ultra high yield 56F6U0E toner cartridge into any Lexmark printer?
No. Standard 56F6000 cartridges fit all compatible MS and MX models, but 25,000-page 56F6U0E cartridges require specific printers designed for high-capacity cartridges, such as the MS622de or MX622adhe. Always verify your specific printer model's specifications before selecting ultra high yield variants.
What is the cost benefit of switching to 56F6X0E extra high yield cartridges?
The 56F6X0E extra high yield cartridge produces 20,000 pages compared to 6,000 from the standard 56F6000. This higher capacity lowers your overall cost per page by over 60% and significantly reduces the frequency of cartridge changes in busy office environments.
Does replacing a 56F6 series cartridge replace the imaging drum?
No. Lexmark uses a two-piece system separating the toner cartridge from the imaging unit. The 56F6 cartridge supplies only the toner powder, while the imaging drum unit lasts through multiple toner cycles (up to 60,000 pages) before requiring replacement.
Is 56F6000 the same as 56F-6000?
Yes. 56F6000 and 56F-6000 refer to the exact same Lexmark black toner cartridge. The inclusion of a hyphen is simply a formatting variation used by some inventory systems and retailers.
