Lexmark MS510d MS510dn Toner Cartridges
Your Lexmark MS510d and MS510dn printers use the Lexmark 503 toner cartridge series along with 500Z drum units. Fast monochrome office workhorses, these models excel at producing crisp text documents. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Switching from standard 503 (50F3000) cartridges to high-yield 503U (50F3U00) options minimises cartridge changeovers during large print runs.
Expected Page Yield and Capacity Options
Lexmark calculates page yield using ISO/IEC 19752 monochrome laser standards based on 5% coverage per page. Choosing high-yield 503H or ultra-high-yield 503U options extends printing intervals significantly for high-volume business workflows without compromising output consistency.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 503 | Standard | Black | 1,500 | $0.076 |
| 503U | High Yield | Black | 20,000 | $0.029 |
| 503H | High Yield | Black | 5,000 | $0.055 |
| 503X | Extra High Yield | Black | 10,000 | $0.041 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Lexmark Toners
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.
For businesses looking to lower operating expenses, compatible 503H toners offer substantial savings while maintaining clear, legible text output. Read our comprehensive genuine vs compatible cartridge comparison guide to determine the best choice for your printing volume.
Imaging Drum Unit Lifecycle
The 500Z imaging drum unit is a separate consumable from the Black toner cartridge and features an estimated page life of 60,000 pages before requiring replacement. Because the drum unit outlasts multiple toner changeovers, monitoring drum status prevents unexpected downtime during heavy print jobs.

Expert Purchasing Advice
Verify whether your printing needs justify the ultra-high-yield 503U cartridge before purchasing, as 503U cartridges provide exceptional cost savings per page but require a higher initial outlay compared to standard 503 or 503H options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Lexmark MS510d and MS510dn printers use the exact same toner cartridges?
Yes, both the Lexmark MS510d (duplex printing) and MS510dn (duplex with networking) share the exact same 503 series toner cartridges and 500Z imaging drum unit.
Can I install a 503U ultra-high-yield cartridge in my MS510 printer if it previously used a standard 503 cartridge?
Yes, 503, 503H, 503X, and 503U cartridges share the same physical dimensions and slot directly into the printer's toner compartment; the higher yield designation simply indicates greater internal toner capacity.
Does replacing the toner cartridge also replace the imaging drum?
No, the MS510 series uses a two-piece consumable system where the toner cartridge (503 series) and imaging drum (500Z) are replaced independently.
How does ISO/IEC 19752 testing affect real-world page yield for these Black cartridges?
ISO testing uses standard 5% text coverage on A4 paper; if your office prints dense documents, spreadsheets with heavy lines, or logos, real-world yield will be lower than the rated figure.
