AI-generated summary

Different brands of laser printer toner are not fully interchangeable. Magnetic toner can substitute for non-magnetic toner in emergencies, but the reverse is not true. Key characteristics of toner for various brands include: - HP: Negative charge, magnetic - EPSON: Negative charge, non-magnetic - BROTHER: Positive charge, non-magnetic - XEROX: Negative charge, non-magnetic - CANON: Negative charge, magnetic - CANON FC series: Positive charge - SAMSUNG: Negative charge, non-magnetic - CANON NP1215: Positive charge, non-magnetic - LEXMARK: Negative charge, non-magnetic - FOUNDER: Negative charge - LENOVO 1600: Negative charge, non-magnetic; LENOVO 2312: Positive charge, non-magnetic.

Are toner cartridges from different brands of laser printers interchangeable?#

I. Let's start with the answer#

Toner cartridges from different brands of laser printers are not completely interchangeable.

II. Substitutability#

Magnetic toner can substitute for non-magnetic toner in emergencies.
Non-magnetic toner cannot substitute for magnetic toner.

III. Basic knowledge#
