Who Is the HP M480f Best Suited For?
The M480f is built for small to medium offices and workgroups that print colour every day and want one machine to cover printing, copying, scanning and faxing. It suits:
- ✓Office teams of roughly 3 to 10 users printing between 900 and 4,800 pages a month
- ✓Businesses that still send and receive faxes, such as medical, legal, real estate and trade offices
- ✓Offices that scan a lot of paperwork to email or network folders
- ✓IT-managed networks that need security features, firmware control and fleet management
- ✓Workplaces short on space - the M480f fits on a desk or cabinet
If you need wireless printing out of the box, note that Wi-Fi is an optional accessory on this model. Most offices connect it by network cable, which is faster and more stable for shared use.
Toner Cartridges for the HP M480f
The HP Color LaserJet Enterprise MFP M480f uses HP 416A (standard yield) and HP 416X (high yield) genuine toner cartridges. You can mix standard and high yield cartridges in the same printer.
| Colour | HP 416A Standard | Yield (pages) | HP 416X High Yield | Yield (pages) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black | W2040A | 2,400 | W2040X | 7,500 |
| Cyan | W2041A | 2,100 | W2041X | 6,000 |

HP 416 Toner Value Packs
Replacing all four colours at once? The HP 416A Toner Value Pack (CMYK) and the HP 416X High Yield Toner Value Pack (CMYK) include one Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow cartridge each.
HP 416A vs HP 416X: Which Toner Should You Buy?
The HP 416X high yield cartridges print around three times as many pages as the standard HP 416A (7,500 vs 2,400 pages black, 6,000 vs 2,100 pages colour) and work out cheaper per page. For an office printing more than a few hundred pages a month, HP 416X is the better choice. HP 416A suits lower volumes or a lower upfront cost.
