If your printer is an M604, order 81A. If it is an M605 or M606 and you print often, 81X usually means fewer changes and a lower cost per page.
Printing checks on the M604, M605, or M606?
The same printer can print payroll and vendor checks if you swap in MICR toner. Banks need magnetic toner to read the numbers at the bottom of the check. Regular toner will not pass. See our MICR guide for CPA and payroll offices or the MICR printer finder.

Frequently asked questions
Which toner fits the HP M604, M605, and M606?
The M604, M605, and M606 take HP 81A (CF281A) standard yield toner. The M605 and M606 also take HP 81X (CF281X) high yield toner. 81X is not listed for the M604. Match the number on your empty cartridge to the product title.
Should I buy standard or high yield?
81A is OEM rated at about 10,500 pages (ISO/IEC 19752) and is the cartridge listed for the M604, M605, and M606. 81X is OEM rated at about 25,000 pages (ISO/IEC 19752) and is listed for the M605 and M606 only — not the M604. If your box is an M605 or M606 and it runs often, 81X usually means fewer changes.
Can these printers print checks?
Yes. Swap in the matching MICR cartridge linked above. Use 81A MICR for the M604, M605, and M606. Use 81X MICR only if your printer is an M605, M606, or M630-class model listed on that product. Banks need magnetic (MICR) toner to read the routing and account line.
Should I leave MICR toner in for everyday printing?
No. Use regular toner for everyday pages. Swap in the matching MICR cartridge for check runs, or keep a second printer just for checks. MICR costs more, so you do not want it on regular office pages.
Is this an OEM HP cartridge?
No. These are North American remanufactured cartridges that replace the OEM cartridge number in the product title. Every cartridge is 100% post-tested and priced at up to 40% less than OEM.
Do you offer local pickup?
No. Every order is drop shipped, and we ship nationwide with free ground shipping.
