Lexmark MS810de MS810dn MS810n Toner Cartridges
Your Lexmark MS810de, MS810dn, and MS810n printers use the Lexmark 523, 523H and 523X toner cartridge series along with 52D0Z00 imaging units. These high-speed monochrome laser printers deliver robust document printing for demanding workplace environments. Switching from standard 523 (52D3000) to high-yield 523H (52D3H00) cartridges drastically lowers per-page expenses during heavy output runs. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Toner cartridge yields are evaluated using ISO/IEC 19752 standardized testing protocols for monochrome laser devices. Standard 523 cartridges provide baseline capacity for moderate printing, while 523H high-yield variants significantly extend print runs between replacements, optimizing operating costs in high-volume office settings.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 523 | Standard | Black | 6,000 | $0.031 |
| 523H | High Yield | Black | 25,000 | $0.023 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Cartridges
Selecting compatible toner cartridges delivers considerable cost savings for high-volume office printing without sacrificing text sharpness or print clarity. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn more about performance differences in our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide.
Imaging Units and Long-Term Consumables
The Lexmark MS810 series utilizes a separate 520Z (52D0Z00) imaging unit that works independently from the toner cartridge. Experience Tip: The 520Z imaging unit has an estimated lifespan of 100,000 pages, meaning it typically outlasts several toner cartridge replacements before needing to be replaced.
Best Way to Stock These Cartridges
If you print large daily document volumes, standard 523 (52D3000) cartridges require frequent swapping, whereas high-yield 523H (52D3H00) options offer maximum uptime. Compatible cartridges include a full money-back guarantee if they fail to meet expectations. For additional protection, review our returns policy.

Pro Tip
Monitor your printer's separate imaging unit counter alongside toner levels so you can order a replacement 520Z unit before it reaches its 100,000-page limit and halts print queues.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Lexmark MS810de, MS810dn, and MS810n all use the same toner cartridges?
Yes. All three printers belong to the same Lexmark MS810 printer family and share the identical 523 and 523H toner cartridge series, as well as the 520Z imaging unit.
Can I install a high-yield 523H cartridge if my printer originally came with a standard 523 cartridge?
Yes, the 523H high-yield cartridge shares the exact physical slot dimensions as the standard 523 cartridge but holds substantially more toner powder for longer print life.
Do I need to replace the imaging unit every time I replace the toner cartridge?
No. The toner cartridge and the 520Z (52D0Z00) imaging unit are separate physical components. The toner contains the black supply powder, while the imaging unit lasts up to 100,000 pages across multiple toner replacements.
Why does my printer display a low drum/imaging unit message when my toner cartridge is brand new?
The printer monitors toner levels and imaging unit lifespan independently. Installing a new toner cartridge replenishes the black powder, but it does not reset the separate counter for the 520Z imaging unit.
