What's in the Box
- 1 x Lexmark Waste Toner Container (78C0W00)
- Lexmark packaging with Cartridge Collection Program (LCCP) return and recycling information
What It Means in Practice
- When the printer reports that the waste toner container is nearly full, order this part so the replacement is on hand before the printer stops.
- Rated life is up to 25,000 pages. Real life depends on coverage, colour mix, calibration cycles and how often the machine is switched on and off, so heavy colour users replace it sooner.
- Replacement is a user task on the listed models: open the indicated cover, lift out the full container, seal it and slide the new one in. No technician visit is needed.
- A full waste toner container cannot be emptied and reused. Lexmark designs it as a sealed, single-use part, and reusing it risks spills inside the printer.
- Keep one spare per printer in busy offices, because the printer will not print until a full container has been replaced.
- Handle the full waste toner container carefully: keep it upright, close any caps or seals supplied, and place it in the packaging of the new unit before disposal or return.
- Store the spare in its sealed packaging at normal office temperature, away from direct sunlight, until the printer asks for it.
What Will Not Work
- Lexmark CS/CX72x and C4150 series, which use the 74C0W00 container.
- Lexmark CS/CX820, 827 and 860 series, which use the 72K0W00 container.
- It contains no toner: the toner cartridges are ordered separately.
- A full container cannot be emptied and refitted.
Key Features
Genuine Lexmark part
Made by Lexmark for the listed printers, so it fits the slot exactly and the printer recognises the fill level correctly.
Rated up to 25,000 pages
Capacity published by Lexmark: up to 25,000 pages. One container lasts through several toner changes on typical office volumes.
Clean handling
The container is designed to be removed and closed off without exposing toner, which keeps the office and the inside of the printer clean.
Planned maintenance
Because the printer warns before the container is full, you can schedule the swap together with toner orders and avoid unplanned downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 25,000-page figure measured?
Lexmark estimates maximum capacity printing 3-page jobs (1 black and 2 colour pages) at about 5% coverage per colour.
Does one container serve all colours?
Yes. It collects waste from all four colours in one unit.
Can I return the full container?
Yes. It is part of the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Program.
What happens if I ignore the nearly-full warning?
The printer keeps working for a while, then stops printing until a new waste toner container is fitted. It does not damage the printer, but it causes downtime if no spare is available.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
On the compact CS/CX and C/MC2xxx colour range, the 25K waste container fills quicker than on larger Lexmarks, so offices printing colour daily usually need one every few toner sets. Keep a spare with the toner stock. See the full
Singular waste toner range if you run more than one model.
✓ Buy it if you run a CS421, CS521, CS622, CX421, CX522, CX622, CX625 or a C/MC2325, 2425, 2535, MC2640, C2240, XC2235 or XC4240.
✕ Skip it if your printer is a CS/CX72x: it needs the 74C0W00.
