Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for CART051 series Black toner cartridges are measured using standard ISO/IEC 19752 testing protocols at 5% page coverage. The standard CART051 yields 1,700 pages, while the high-yield CART051H produces up to 4,100 pages, making the CART051H ideal for high-volume office document printing.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CART051 | Standard | Black | 1,700 | $0.061 |
| CART051H | High Yield | Black | 4,100 | $0.036 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Cartridges
For office document printing, choosing between original Canon consumables and compatible options comes down to budget preferences. Compatible CART051H toner cartridges deliver comparable text crispness at a significantly reduced cost per page. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our detailed guide to compare genuine and compatible cartridges before making a selection.
Understanding the CART051D Drum Unit
The Canon imageCLASS MF269dw utilizes a separate two-component consumable design where the toner cartridge and drum unit operate independently. The CART051D drum unit features an extended rating of 23,000 pages, outlasting multiple toner cartridge replacements before requiring replacement.
Choosing the Right Cartridge Setup and Delivery Options
If you print standard office correspondence occasionally, standard CART051 cartridges are suitable. If you print heavy text volumes daily, purchasing high-yield CART051H toner cartridges or multipacks offers the lowest running expenses. Compatible cartridges come backed by our money-back guarantee.

Pro Tip
Because the CART051D drum unit and CART051 toner cartridge are separate components, always verify which consumable is depleted before ordering-replacing only the toner cartridge when prompted prevents purchasing a drum unit earlier than necessary.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CART051D drum unit included with the CART051 toner cartridge?
No, the CART051 toner cartridge and CART051D drum unit are individual items sold separately. The toner cartridge holds the black powder, while the drum unit transfers the image onto the page.
Can I install a high-yield CART051H toner if my printer originally came with a standard CART051?
Yes, the CART051H high-yield cartridge shares the exact outer dimensions as the standard CART051. It fits into the same printer slot while containing more toner to yield up to 4,100 pages.
How do I know whether I need to replace the CART051 toner cartridge or the CART051D drum unit?
The printer display specifies which component requires attention. Toner warnings occur frequently (every 1,700 to 4,100 pages), whereas drum replacement prompts appear far less often due to its 23,000-page operational rating.
