Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the extra high-yield B226X00 toner in all compatible Lexmark models?
Yes, the B226X00 cartridge uses the exact same physical housing dimension as the B226000 and B226H00, making it fully compatible with the Lexmark B2236dw, MB2236adwe, and MB2236i printers.
How does cartridge yield affect overall cost per page on mono Lexmark printers?
The standard B226000 yields 1,200 pages at roughly 9.8 cents per page, whereas the B226X00 yields 6,000 pages at 5.7 cents per page, reducing overall monochrome document expenses by over 40%.
Does the B226 series toner cartridge contain the imaging drum?
No, Lexmark B226 series toner cartridges contain black toner powder only. The imaging drum is a separate long-life unit in B2236 and MB2236 printers that is replaced independently when prompted by the printer.
Is B226-X00 the same as B226X00?
Yes - B226-X00 and B226X00 refer to the exact same Lexmark extra high-yield Black toner cartridge. The hyphen is simply a formatting variation used in some stock codes, and both fit the exact same printers.
