Which cartridge fits the HP M521?
| Cartridge | Yield | Price | Shop |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP 55A (CE255A) standard yield | OEM rated approx. 6,000 pages (ISO/IEC 19752) | $87.99 | 55A toner |
| HP 55X (CE255X) high yield | OEM rated approx. 12,500 pages (ISO/IEC 19752) | $105.99 | 55X toner |
Choose 55A for lighter printing. Choose 55X if this MFP runs often — you change it less often, and the cost per page is usually lower.
Printing checks on the HP M521?
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 M521?
The HP M521dn, M521dw, M521dx, and M521dz take HP 55A (CE255A) standard yield or HP 55X (CE255X) high yield toner. The same cartridges are listed for the Enterprise 500 MFP M525. Match the number on your empty cartridge to the product title.
Should I buy standard or high yield?
55X is the high-yield cartridge, OEM rated at about 12,500 pages (ISO/IEC 19752). 55A is the standard-yield option, OEM rated at about 6,000 pages (ISO/IEC 19752). If this MFP runs often, 55X usually means fewer changes.
Can this printer print checks?
Yes. Swap in the matching MICR cartridge linked above. Banks need magnetic (MICR) toner to read the routing and account line. Regular toner is enough only if that line is already printed on the check stock.
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.
