CartridgesDirect stocks genuine and compatible toner cartridges for Fuji Xerox printers across the DocuPrint, DocuCentre and ApeosPort ranges. Both options are listed on every product page alongside CT part numbers, so you can confirm compatibility before you buy.
One thing worth knowing upfront: Fuji Xerox rebranded to Fujifilm Business Innovation in 2021 and Fuji Xerox branded toner was withdrawn from Australian distribution in April 2023. The toner is the same. Only the packaging changed. If your printer has a Fuji Xerox badge on it, the CT part number on the box is what you match, not the brand name. Use the Finder tool to confirm the right cartridge by model or read on for a model-by-model CT number breakdown.

Fuji Xerox started as a joint venture between Fujifilm and Xerox in 1962. Fujifilm bought out Xerox’s remaining stake in November 2020 and started transitioning to Fujifilm Business Innovation. By April 2023, the Fuji Xerox brand was gone from Australian toner stock entirely. Distributors now supply only Fujifilm-branded cartridges.
For anyone with a DocuPrint or DocuCentre on their desk, that’s mostly a non-event. CT part numbers stayed the same. Toner formulation stayed the same. A DocuPrint CP315DW that took a Fuji Xerox CT201632 now takes a Fujifilm CT201632. Same fit, same yield, same print. You can even mix them in a colour machine, Fuji Xerox yellow in one slot and Fujifilm cyan in another, as long as each is the right CT number for that colour position.
Where the rebrand causes confusion is online. Search for “Fuji Xerox toner” and results now show Fujifilm on the box. CartridgesDirect carries both the legacy Fuji Xerox range and current Fujifilm models. The CT number printed on your current cartridge is the thing to match, not the brand name.
Plenty of buyers searching for Fuji Xerox toner aren’t sure which product range their printer sits in. The model number printed on the front panel tells you:
DocuPrint: Desktop or compact laser printers for individual workstations and small offices. Single-function (P-prefix, mono) or colour multifunction (CP and CM prefix). The P115w, P225d, P265dw, CP225w and CM305df are the most widely used DocuPrint models in Australia.
DocuCentre: Floor-standing or desktop workgroup devices built for shared office environments. Higher duty cycles, larger paper trays, usually with fax, advanced scan and network management baked in. The SC2020 colour multifunction is particularly common in Australian businesses with 10 to 50 staff.
ApeosPort: High-volume enterprise multifunction devices, often running under a managed print service contract. If yours is an ApeosPort, check whether that contract covers consumables before ordering toner separately, as many managed print agreements include consumable supply through the service provider.
Still unsure? Enter the model number from the front panel into the Finder tool and it identifies the range and returns the correct toner, drum and waste cartridge set for that exact device.
Both options are on the shelf. Here’s the honest difference between them.
Genuine toner is manufactured by Fujifilm, calibrated to each DocuPrint or DocuCentre model’s imaging system and backed by Fujifilm’s own yield testing. If you’re printing colour brochures, client-facing documents or anything where exact colour reproduction matters, genuine earns its price. Printers under a vendor service contract typically require it.
Compatible toner is manufactured by independent suppliers to the same CT part number specification and ISO yield standard. On comparable models, compatible typically costs 40 to 60 percent less per cartridge than genuine. For mono laser printing, invoices, internal reports and standard office documents, the output on paper is indistinguishable from genuine on a normal working day. Where you might notice the gap is on high-coverage full-colour work printed onto gloss stock over a long run.
If your office also runs HP printers alongside Fuji Xerox devices, HP ink cartridges are stocked with the same genuine and compatible split, giving you a single supplier for the full office consumable run.
Fuji Xerox toner cartridges are identified by CT part numbers. That number is on the cartridge label, on the sticker inside the toner bay door and in the printer’s consumables status menu. Different models within the same DocuPrint series can take different cartridges, so the CT number is the one thing to confirm before ordering. These are the most common ones in active Australian use:
For all other DocuCentre and ApeosPort devices, the Finder tool returns the full consumable set including drums and waste containers. Or contact our team on live chat with your printer model and the CT number from your current cartridge.
Toner and Drum Cartridges: Two Separate Consumables on Fuji Xerox Colour Printers
On Fuji Xerox colour DocuPrint and DocuCentre models, toner and the imaging drum are separate components with separate replacement cycles. Buyers who come from inkjet printing sometimes expect a single cartridge to do everything. On these laser models, it doesn’t work that way.
The toner cartridge holds the powdered toner. The drum cartridge holds the photosensitive drum that reads the laser image and transfers it to the page. On colour models there are four drum slots: R1 (cyan), R2 (magenta), R3 (yellow) and R4 (black). R5 is the waste toner container. Drums are not interchangeable between slots. Each colour slot takes only its own drum.
Drum life is considerably longer than toner life. On the DocuPrint CP315dw and comparable colour models, drum yield runs from 20,000 to 50,000 pages depending on coverage and model. A standard toner cartridge for the same printer yields 1,400 to 3,000 pages. You’ll go through several toner sets before a drum needs changing. The printer monitors each component independently and shows separate status alerts, so you’ll know which one is running low before it becomes a problem.
Fuji Xerox developed EA (Emulsion Aggregation) toner in-house. Instead of mechanically grinding toner particles from a plastic block, EA toner grows them chemically in water. The particles come out smaller, rounder and more uniform in size than ground toner, which matters for two practical reasons: the printed image is sharper, particularly on small-point text and fine detail and the toner bonds to paper at a lower temperature.
A later version, EA-Eco toner, drops the fusing temperature by over 20 degrees Celsius compared to standard EA. Lower fusing temperature means the fuser unit draws less power each time it activates, which adds up to a real energy saving for offices printing at volume. It’s part of why Fuji Xerox colour printers have historically run at a lower energy cost per page than equivalent colour laser models from other brands.
Compatible toner is manufactured to the same CT specification and ISO yield standard, but uses the compatible supplier’s own toner chemistry rather than Fujifilm’s EA process. On plain paper, standard office documents and mono printing, that gap rarely shows. Print a long run of high-coverage colour brochures on gloss stock and genuine EA toner will hold colour consistency more tightly across the full job.
CartridgesDirect is a proud partner of the Cartridges 4 Planet Ark recycling program, making it easy to recycle your used printer cartridges. Every eligible cartridge order includes a free, postage-paid recycling satchel. Simply collect at least eight empty cartridges, seal the satchel and drop it into any Australia Post roadside mailbox. Your cartridges will be returned to Close the Loop, where they are safely processed and recycled into new materials.
Same product. In 2021 Fuji Xerox rebranded to Fujifilm Business Innovation, and the Fuji Xerox name on toner packaging in Australian distribution was phased out over the following couple of years. Fujifilm took over supply of the same cartridges under the same CT part numbers, with the same dimensions, toner formulation and page yield. Nothing about the cartridge changed. Search by your CT number or printer model on our Fuji Xerox and Fujifilm toner range and you are looking at the right product.
Check the CT number on your current cartridge label or on the sticker inside the toner bay door. That number is the definitive compatibility reference and does not change between Fuji Xerox and Fujifilm branded versions. No empty cartridge handy? Use the Finder tool, enter your printer model, and it returns every confirmed toner, drum and waste cartridge for that device. If you have a DocuCentre or ApeosPort and you are on a managed print contract, check whether that agreement covers consumable supply before placing an order.
Genuine toner is manufactured by Fujifilm using the EA formulation calibrated to each printer's imaging system. Compatible toner is made by independent manufacturers to the same CT specification and ISO yield standard, at a meaningfully lower cost per cartridge. For everyday mono output, invoices, internal documents and standard office print jobs, compatible toner produces results that are difficult to distinguish from genuine on the page. Genuine earns its price on high-coverage colour work, gloss paper and long print runs where consistent colour profiling matters across the whole job.
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible consumables does not automatically void your warranty. The manufacturer would need to demonstrate that the compatible cartridge caused the specific fault being claimed, not simply that a third-party product was in the machine. CartridgesDirect has supplied compatible toner to Australian businesses since 2006. Two things to check separately: if your printer is under a managed service contract that specifies genuine consumables, that contract term sits outside consumer law and should be reviewed, and if a compatible cartridge triggers a chip recognition error after a firmware update, that is a chip compatibility issue the compatible supplier can resolve with an updated chip version, not a sign the printer is damaged.
Toner is the powder that forms the image. The drum is the component that reads the laser and transfers that image to the page. On Fuji Xerox colour models, both are separate consumables on separate replacement cycles. Toner typically lasts 1,400 to 3,000 pages on DocuPrint CP and CM models, while drums last 20,000 to 50,000 pages. Colour drums are slot-specific, with R1 cyan, R2 magenta, R3 yellow and R4 black, and R5 is the waste toner container. The printer tracks all of them independently, so you do not replace toner and drums at the same time. Use the Finder tool to get the complete consumable set for your specific model.
No problem at all. The CT part numbers are identical and the toner formulation is the same. If you have Fuji Xerox stock on hand alongside new Fujifilm stock, put whichever is correct into each slot, since the printer reads the chip and the toner, not the brand name on the box. The only rule is that each cartridge is the right CT number for its colour position.
Remove the cartridge, reseat it firmly until it clicks, and do a full power-cycle on the printer, since most toner errors on Fuji Xerox printers clear on a restart. If the error stays, check two things: that the CT number on the cartridge matches what your printer model actually takes, and on colour machines, that the cartridge is in the correct colour slot. Toner recognition errors on some DocuPrint models are a known firmware update behaviour, where the printer's chip reader briefly stops recognising the compatible supplier's chip version, and the compatible supplier issues an updated chip to address it. If you are stuck, contact us on live chat with your printer model and the CT number on the cartridge and we will work through it.
Many older DocuPrint and DocuCentre models are well covered by compatible toner, even after Fujifilm discontinued the genuine version. Fujifilm typically discontinues genuine consumables around 15 years after a device's release, while compatible manufacturers keep producing cartridges for models that are still running in Australian offices well beyond that window. The DocuPrint CP205 and CM205 family, released well over a decade ago, is a good example: compatible toner for those models remains in production and in stock. Use the Finder tool to check, and if you are outfitting a mixed-brand office, our HP ink cartridges page covers the same current and legacy model support. If your model does not come up, contact us on live chat and we will confirm whether stock is available.
Take the cartridge price and divide it by the ISO page yield on the product listing. That is your cost per page for that cartridge. On colour printers, run the same calculation for each of the four colour toners and add them together for a total colour cost per page at full coverage. Most office colour pages run well under 100 percent coverage, so real-world cost per page sits somewhere below that full-coverage figure. For the DocuPrint P225d family, the CT202330 compatible toner delivers a cost per page that compares favourably with most comparable mono laser options on the market. All the pricing and yield figures are on the product pages so you can run the comparison before ordering.
